A segment of Ontario’s medical professionals feel ‘neglected’ from pandemic pay

It’s been nearly two weeks since Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced various front-line workers would receive an extra $4 per hour for their contributions to fighting COVID-19.
A few days after the initial announcement on April 25, the province expanded the “pandemic pay” to additional health-care sector workers, including paramedics and public health nurses.
An announcement that rubbed a few medical professionals the wrong way. “All our members are the ones that are performing all of the diagnostic procedures and treatments on all the COVID-infected or presumed infected patients across the province,” said Greg Toffner, the president and CEO of the Ontario Association of Medical Radiation Sciences.
