#BREAKING: Ontario’s Long-Term Care Commission is recommending the province “reintroduce annual Resident Quality Inspections for all LTC homes”.

The Ford govt cut them in 2018 despite knowing 3 years earlier they caught up to 5 times more violations.

From CBC Marketplace:

“only 14 RQI inspections conducted in 2019, compared with an average of more than 650 annually in the three years preceding the cuts” and in 2019, “only nine out of 626 homes in Ontario actually received so-called resident quality inspections (RQIs).
Reminder: LTC Minister Fullerton once called RQIs and CBC Marketplace’s investigations “red herrings” https://twitter.com/l_stone/status/1265705833251385349
(The Ford government is not holding their daily news conference today.)
