Health minister rejects latest call for Niagara Health probe

Health minister Deb Matthews says she still has no plans to order a probe of the Niagara Health System.

During question period Thursday, NDP leader Andrea Horwath again called for an independent investigation:
“Many families have lost faith in the Niagara Health care System. Instead of more broken promises and out-of-touch remarks, premier take a step back, listen to Niagara residents and support an independent investigation of the Niagara Health System”
Matthews says the Niagara Health System is doing good work and wait times for hospital services are down.

“Health care is getting better in Niagara make no mistake about it and because we measure we can report the results for people.”
