Ontario Health Council Speaks Out against Budget Cuts

There's concern how recent budget cuts are going to affect local services.

Not one, but two events were held Saturday to protest budget cuts at the federal and provincial level.

The Ontario Health Coalition spoke to a handful of people.

Natalie Mehra is a spokesperson for the group and says the government likes to talk about transforming the health care system, but its not putting the necessary resources into things like home care.

Mehra says some communities in northwestern Ontario simply don't have the supports in place to allow seniors to live at home.
