(Toronto) – “On Tuesday, December 11, 2007, the jury in the coroner’s inquest into the death of Lori Dupont, a nurse who worked at the Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital in Windsor, released its verdict and recommendations.
The OHA welcomed the jury’s recommendations and intends to review them very carefully in the time ahead. We were particularly pleased that a review of the Public Hospitals Act was included as the first in the list of 26 recommendations.
The OHA intends to discuss the recommendations with our health care partners and work collaboratively moving forward.”
