Volume 3, Issue 3: February 25, 2005

OSSTF continues to support the work done by the Ontario Health Coalition (OHC) to maintain our publicly-funded, publicly administered health care system. We share their concern over the government’s use of the Public, Private, Partnership model (P3's) in redeveloping existing hospitals and building new ones both because of its direct implications for the future of our public health care system, and because of the precedent this sets for the other public infrastructure development.

Here is a list of Ontario Health Coalition activities in February and March in or close to Thames Valley:

(OSSTF Motto)
