Trouble over eHealth rebuild ‘Confidence is reduced when we see the same players that were at the heart of the scandal a couple of years ago’: NDP leader Telus says two former Courtyard Group execs will no longer be part new eHealth contract bid
The Ontario Liberals are again on the defensive over eHealth after it was revealed two executives once linked to the scandal-plagued agency were in the running for a lucrative new contract. “It’s as if Dalton McGuinty has
found numerous ways to pay back his friends,” said Progressive Conservative critic Lisa MacLeod. “It doesn’t appear at all that the Liberal government cares about the appearance of a group that was handsomely paid to do work in a
massive scandal may be paid again — this doesn’t pass the sniff test.” EHealth and Infrastructure Ontario said earlier this week that Telus Health Solutions GP and Maximus Canada had pre-qualified to bid for an upcoming contract to
create a system that provides a secure record of patient medications. They were chosen, the agency said, because they had the experience, resources and financial strength to deliver the project. “What I find troubling is that
people are trying to politicize moving forward with a very important component of eHealth; to get our drug-management system up and running is vitally important,” said Liberal Health Minister Deb Matthews. THE CANADIAN PRESS
