RESTRICTING PRIVATE-SECTOR PRACTICE USING CONTRACTS.pp583-586

COMMENT by Dr.A.Franklin MBBS(Lond) FLEX(USA) LMC(Can.) D.Phys.Med(UK) DPH & DIH(Tor.)

Left-wing medical activists worried about rise of private doctors' offices and private hospitals e.g. Montreal Rockland MD.and Vancouver Cambie Surgical Centre.. In Toronto: "Wellness" GP clinics ; Cleveland Clinic Canada;  MedCan;  MediSys (Montreal,Toronto,Calgary,Vancouver).  Usual fees are $3,500 a year. GP visits NOT billed to OHIP.;.

(Article attempts to review ways that EU & Anzac countries deals with the problem).

Since 1947 UK has had private and public medicine. Population increasingly insured privately e.g. with BUPA Many private hospitals including private mental hospitals..

Specialists who wish to work for NHS sign a 9/11 sessions a week contract. 9 x 3.5 hr sessions. Leaving two half-days for private practice at market price. Get pension at 65y.when compulsory retirement.from NHS. Can then practice 100% privately according to market demand.

Some UK specialists.work entirely outside NHS.. Can perform surgery in private hospitals.

Unlike Ontario, talent is rewarded by A,B,C, Distinction awards. A= Doubles NHS rate for FULL-TIME
academics with NO PRIVATE PRACTICE. B & C depend on Research & Teaching. In Ontario all Specialists are paid the same. by OHIP.. In Ontario Medical Specialists supplement their income through Drug Trials.Some surgeons commute to USA & UK.Can also bill market rates to non-Canadians..

Naive to believe that Ontarians paying millions for a condo or home; who pay upto $50,000/yr for private schools (not tax deductible) and are members of expensive private sport and social clubs will  accept  OHIP standard of medical care.. Prefer luxury of private clinics which are disguised as "WELLNESS CLINICS" & offer extra services such as Dietitian +/- Physiotherapist..Cardiologists have combined to open elegant offices with advanced imaging.billing OHIP and accepting private out-of-Province clients.
