An open letter to Andrea Horwath
TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2011 /CNW/ –
Ms. Andrea Horwath
Room 113, Main Legislative Building
Queen’s Park
Toronto ON M7A1A5
Dear Ms. Horwath:
In the past 48 hours you have made a series of shifting claims about the treatment a member of your family received at Hamilton Health Sciences Centre. As you are aware, the Hospital you smeared has expressed frustration and doubt about your claims.
It’s incredibly disappointing that, under the pressure of a televised debate, you chose to misrepresent the facts.
To resolve what hospital staff have called the “unfairness” of your smear, we urge you to do everything you can to allow the Hospital to look at the specific issue you have raised and talk about it freely in the media. You chose to raise this incident. Now you can choose to be fair and allow the qualified staff who work at your local hospital to defend themselves with facts against your smear.
Yours truly,
[original signed]
