Pressure works: Health Minister finds the cash for beds in Kitchener

Following the political storm over the fumbled restructuring of mental health hospital beds in Kitchener, London and Cambridge (reported here earlier), the Minister of Health and LTC, Deb Matthews, has found some cash for hospital beds in Kitchener.  But befitting our model of transparency, the Health Minister can't say how much money is promised, according to the London Free Press .  Murkier and murkier.  Hospital funding is getting less transparent  -- and more political.  It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. So my advice to local communities is -- squeak on. dallan@cupe.ca
