There are about 5,700 so-called ALC patients in hospitals across Ontario, but only about a third of those patients have been designated to go to a long-term care home
TORONTO — A new Ontario law that allows hospitals to fine discharged patients $400 a day if they do not move into a nursing home not of their choosing violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, advocates allege in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
The government introduced and quickly passed Bill 7 last fall, allowing hospital placement coordinators to accept a spot in a long-term care home and share their health information without a patient's approval. The attorney general's office declined to comment, saying it would be inappropriate with the case before the court.
