Ontario is planning to deal with a crisis plaguing hospitals by boosting the number of surgeries done at existing private-sector clinics, attracting 6,000 more health care workers and legislating new powers to move elderly patients awaiting long-term care into homes that are not of their choosing.

The measures, outlined in an 18-page second phase of Ontario’s “Plan to Stay Open” unveiled on Thursday by Health Minister Sylvia Jones, drew praise from some in the health care system but criticism from opposition politicians and advocates for long-term care residents, who warned that the plan would harm vulnerable seniors.
