Court to rule on whether doctors have to give referrals for services they oppose

Published Wednesday, May 15, 2019 5:41AM EDTA group of doctors has asked the Court of Appeal for Ontario to overturn a divisional court decision that upheld the referral requirement.

The requirement is part of a policy issued by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to address issues surrounding, among other things, assisted dying and abortion. Last year, the divisional court found that while the policy does infringe on doctors' religious freedom, the benefits to the public outweigh the cost to physicians.

The court said doctors can ask their staff to provide a referral to another doctor who can provide the service, or choose to specialize in a type of medicine where these issues are less frequent. In its appeal, the group of five doctors and three professional organizations argued the ruling was unreasonable because it gave more weight to an assumed problem with access to health care than to a real infringement of doctors' rights.

Ya know what weed mmj cdnpoli Until such time as this is covered under all insurance plans at all levels... no. No on the cats dogs pets or otherwise. A wtf monent for Toronto via .

UPDATE: Doctors must provide referrals for services they oppose, Ontario's top court rules

No! This is bullshit! This will set a dangerous precedent! As a doctor, you are required to treat patients, regardless of your faith. Your faith should not be imposed on others. Do the job you swore to do! Pretty soon we’re going to be turning into the U.S.

The speculative ideology in mental heath is disgraceful towards knowledge. I’m mean who really understands pharmaceutical? I was buying placebos for a few years or was home invaded? Mental health harassment. Type U personality with a inside job of attempted murders in my opinion.

Please post the results as soon as they are known.
