The Premier’s Council on Improving Healthcare and Ending Hallway Medicine released its second interim report yesterday. "A Healthy Ontario: Building a Sustainable Health Care System" contains ten policy recommendations from the council to the government, intended to help the government stay on track as it works to improve the health care system.
