Re: Optometrists Withdrawal of OHIP Insured Services
It is recommended:
That the Town of Tecumseh request that the Provincial government recognize the value that access to quality eye care brings to all Ontarians and act now to protect it; and further
That the Provincial government address the OHIP-insured eye care immediately and enter into legally-binding negotiations with Ontario Optometrists to fund these services at least to the cost of delivery, prior to any job action taking place; and further
That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Premier Ford, Ontario Minister of Health Christine Elliot, MPP Percy Hatfield, to the Ontario Association of Optometrists, and to all municipalities in Ontario.
