Elliott will deal with complaints from patients and their families who have trouble navigating the health care system after she officially takes the post on July 1, 2016. She will also issue annual reports on the government's programs such as trying to shift the emphasis from hospitals to home and community-based care. However, unlike the auditor general, privacy commissioner and provincial ombudsman, the patient ombudsman won't be an independent officer of the legislature and will instead report to the minister of health. Elliott, who had been the Tories' health critic before she resigned last summer after losing the PC leadership race to Patrick Brown, calls the new position "a dream job." http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/12/10/former-deputy-pc-leader-christine-elliott-is-ontario-s-first-patient-ombudsman_n_8776872.html This is one smart Conservative, Wynne gets browning points for appointing someone who is knowledgeable and from the other side of partisanship. Lately I was waiting for the other shoe to fall, but this is one I applaud.
