Increased use of private for-profit surgery clinics came to light earlier this year:
as much as $23.4 million has been set aside for private and for-profit health care providers to assist with Ontario’s hospital recovery over the 2022-23 year.
“We’ve got operating rooms in the public system that are not operating and instead they’re going to fund these private clinics, which will cost more and fragment the system,” said Ross Sutherland from https://www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca/

And late last year, Global News reported that talking points offering a forceful denial of privatizing Ontario health care had been removed from the minister of health’s house binder. in August 2022, however, the document was amended and the key phrase, “No, we are not privatizing healthcare” was scratched out. The commitment was never uttered by Ontario’s minister of health. https://globalnews.ca/news/9273799/ontario-minister-of-health-privatization-talking-points/
