OHA opposes parking rate cuts

Not everyone is happy that the Ministry of Health is reducing parking rates at hospitals across the province.  The cut amounts to 50 percent at health facilities that charge more than $10 a day.  The announcement doesn’t affect hospitals in our region which either still have free parking or don’t charge more than 10 dollars a day.
