Premier Doug Ford says there will be management-level job losses as a result of the planned merger of 20 provincial health agencies into one.

Ford says people in the local health integration networks, such as CEOs, presidents and vice-presidents will be axed, but front-line jobs will be protected.

When Health Minister Christine Elliott announced the health system transformation last month, background materials portrayed some management and administrative work at the agencies as "duplicative," but she wouldn't say if there would be job losses. During last year's election campaign, Ford often promised that under his government not a single job would be lost, but in recent weeks his government has been saying that no "front-line" jobs will be lost.

Ontario's ombudsman has said that some workers in the provincial Child and Youth Advocate's office will lose their jobs when his office assumes its duties this spring. The Toronto Catholic District School Board has said the province's decision to cut programs aimed at providing students with extra skills and support would result in the loss of about 35 part-time student tutors and 60 working in youth after-hour programs.

He impressed me more and more!

And how much money does DoFo make from his daddy’s company? And the taxpayers’ dime? To listen to him, you’d think he grew up poor and worked his fingers to the bone to achieve financial success. BS. He’s a spoiled, entitled, rich kid who has everything handed to him. Like trump

“For the people”. I would like to know what people Mr. Ford was talking about during his campaign. It’s not the children with Autism, Students who now have to payback OSAP immediately when they graduate and it’s definitely not those making $14 which he froze on minimum wage.

This is exactly why Ford never told us what he was going to do if he won!

Its amazing how so many want 'instant' gratification. One year is not enough to clean up Liberal rubble. Can you do better?

Now that this is done it’s time to amalgamate the school boards. That’s another big waste of money

What about nepotism? You’d be surprised how many friends and family of those directors and managers work in our hospitals.

Thats why he never backed GM up because he would have lied about that too

Then to show true leadership he quit the party leaving the cabinet to fumble around on its own

Good call voting conservative

Nobody will lose their jobs. Election promise. More and more lies still to come

Good because they suck away all the money leaving nothing for the hospital to run on

If this means unnecessary sunshine list ppl, then I'm happy about this.

So he saves money and puts more work on other employees,

☝️😑 Probably another ploy at promoting healthcare privatization...

Good

Maybe reduce the of MP's and give us representation by population. Too many lying politicians like Dougie.

So… if work is 'duplicated' and you merge two agencies, then now one person is doing twice the work? Hrm… I'm sure that will 'save Ontario money' just about as well as halving Toronto City Council did…

One very good step forward! And one announcement I thought I'd never live to hear after years of working health care! Now if you could keep going & do the same with WSIB so injured workers get their pension/benefits that's legally theirs & not administration

I thought no one would lose their jobs. If the management structure will change and no one would lose their jobs that is different.

it's stupidity like this that will ensure he never gets elected to anything again

consolidate,less layers,less spend, streamline,find efficiencies,reduce redundant roles, money back to the province. all wins. lesbian dance theory classes can't teach you this stuff.

Proper headline should be highly paid pencil pushers to finally be axed.

Axe fords job

This “person “ and everyone whom voted for him are pure garbage people.

Good. Too much management, not enough workers in our Healthcare.

If they were hiring more front line workers with the saved money, this would be fine by me. However it appears that they plan only to maintain the existing levels of front line staff. So how does this make health care better overall? Where is the saved money going?

Like they always say the health system had way to many managers and not enough front line staff and the managers are the ones making the biggest money

But I guess as long as he is doubling the salaries of his friends it all works out, right? His hypocrisy knows no bounds!

FordD150

I honestly can't believe that people who voted for this nincompoop believed the snake oil garbage he was spewing. What a vengeful little snot he is...always has been.

For The People. What a tosser.

The only one who should lose their job is this moron. He bankrupted his father's business now he's going to destroy Ontario. Well at least make it worse. Kathleen already destroyed it.

Doug Ford is the man.
