It has been revealed through a recent report that the government in Ontario is aiming at bringing a major overhaul in the health-care of the province. The health minister of Ontario announced on Monday that change is needed on an urgent basis in order to ensure universal public health care.

The report has uncovered that she was needed to make the declaration to a Toronto Board of Trade luncheon, when she came to know that the Federal Government was planning to bring down the increase in health funding each year after the year of 2017 to the prevailing rate of economic growth in the province.

She told the reporters that the government is now tending to bid more number of surgeries in stand-alone clinics, which would be linking funding to individual patients and not to hospitals. Also, patients would be provided with proper visits by doctors after their treatment hours so as to make no hindrance in the major health-care overhaul.

It has been found that the province would now be paying only for those services, which give real benefits to patients and more services would be delivered in stand-alone clinics so as to bring a chief reform in the health care in the province. Further, it was told by the health minister that health care took a total of about $47 billion of the province's budget.

Deb Matthews, the province's Health Minister added to the context, "There's no point having access to a primary health care provider if you can't get in to see your doctor". He showed the evidence that a child who is brought by his parents to a hospital for a mere ear infection is made to wait for two weeks for his treatment and eventually, is taken to the emergency department, which is completely inacceptable.

Thus, doctor house calls are being offered by the government so as to improve the health care.
