Sex reassignment surgery (SRS) has been funded in Ontario since June,
but the minister of health still seems confused about it.
The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) has been paying for SRS since
Jun 3, after it was announced in May that the government would be
relisting the procedure again after 10 years.
But health minister David Caplan — who replaced George Smitherman in
the portfolio in June — seems unaware of that or that the debate over
exactly what shape the final process for SRS in the province will take
is ongoing.
