A northwestern Ontario MPP is calling for a review of the Northern Health Travel Grant.
Thunder Bay-Atikokan’s Judith Monteith-Farrell has introduced a bill to give local residents the support they need to access health care.
The New Democrat MPP is asking for the creation of an advisory committee to consult with northern families and health care workers.
The committee would submit recommendations to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care on how to fix what she calls ‘a problematic program.’
Monteith-Farrell accuses the Ford government of ignoring the existing travel grant’s obvious issues, noting no one should have to rack up credit card debt because of health care appointments.
