| Notes | NDP health ministers Evelyn Gigantes and Frances Lankin turned a blind eye on concerns about deceit on the part of Ministry of Health officials concerning the history, rights, needs and available medicine for persons with environmental sensitivities. Lankin and Gigantes's staff misled the public about the availability of a publicly insured method of diagnosis. Gigantes, Lankin and Grier all turned a blind eye as officials in the Ministry of Health, deliberately or through stupidity, eclipsed the actual history, needs and rights of persons with sensitivities behind a legitimate but separate debate about the flaky methods of so-called "doctors of environmental medicine," despite warnings from provincial committee reports, medical educators, human rights commissioners, and organized medicine. More than 30,000 people with sensitivities have been killed in Ontario health care since. Mary Lewis, who was EA to Health Minister Ruth Grier, now heads the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. Ironically, thousands of heart patients are sick because of auto immune problems that were irresponsibly ignored by the Ministry of Health while she worked there. A list of cardivascular symptoms in the 1985 Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Environmental Hypersensitivity Disorders (note plural) had no meaning in the Minister's office then, or in her organization now.
