Bri | 🚴📦💨✨ | 🏳️‍🌈<p>Toronto City Council is speaking about paramedic wait times at hospitals. The questions seem to be leading towards having the provincial government mandate wait times in emergency rooms.</p><p>I'm all for bringing down wait times, but mandating a target without also increasing hospital capacity creates an incentive to push people out of hospital before it's medically prudent. The problem is chronic hospital underfunding by the province.</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/TOPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TOPoli</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ONPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ONPoli</span></a></p>
