Not enough beds for chronic care, according to doctors, and with Quebec's plans to close hundreds of long-term beds soon this is bound to get worse. A quo bono? As with the ongoing pinching of general practice in Montreal the obvious answer is that the public is being herded into thinking it reasonable to pay the private sector for services they've already paid for with their taxes.

Meanwhile the Quebec public curator has made various recommendations about the treatment of the aged and infirm, but a lot of good "dignity" will do if they don't even have anywhere to sleep.
