Scarborough-Guildwood MPP Margarett Best has been away from her duties since midFebruary, leaving supporters and members of her Liberal riding association concerned over her health and political future. “MPP Margarett Best has been on medical leave since February 2013,” said a statement from Premier Kathleen Wynne’s office sent to The Scarborough Mirror. “The ScarboroughGuildwood constituency office continues to operate full-time and is taking appointments from constituents as well as responding to calls and emails,” the statement added. >>>BEST, page 21

CONSTRUCTION CONGESTION

MPPs want provincial supervisor for TSH MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Scarborough MPPs Soo Wong and Bas Balkissoon last week denounced the board and senior managers of The Scarborough Hospital (TSH) as lacking all community confidence, asking

Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews to put the hospital under direct provincial supervision. In a letter, the two Liberal MPPs told Matthews the hospital board has consistently not been accountable or transparent in dealings with the public.

“Its members are ineffective, divisive and are not responsive to the community concerns and needs,” added the April 17 letter, which The Scarborough Mirror has obtained. Wo n g , r e p r e s e n t i n g Scarborough-Agincourt, and Balkissoon, MPP for

Scarborough-Rouge River, also said they have no confidence in the hospital’s senior management team, whose members they say in the letter that the community doesn’t trust. In an interview Wednesday, April 24, Wong said she talked to TSH nurses and doctors,

plus other constituents and Balkissoon before sending the letter. “We want a third-party oversight,” she said. “I’m listening to my community. My community’s telling me they’ve got no confidence” >>>MPPS’, page 20
