Hudak Critical of LHINS


Ontario's Opposition says the Liberal government is wasting money on bureaucrats instead of addressing a growing shortage of long-term care beds.

The Progressive Conservatives say the government's failure to make progress on its aging at home strategy has allowed the wait list for long-term care beds to swell to 24,000 people.
Leader Tim Hudak says the Local Health Integration Networks set up by the Liberals mismanaged the 250-million dollar program that is supposed to help more seniors live at home.
Hudak is promising to scrap the networks and put the money into front-line health services if the Tories win next year's election.
