— Families of victims and a woman who was almost killed by an Ontario nurse will speak for the first time today in St. Thomas, Ont., at a public inquiry into the serial-killing case. On the weekend, the daughter of one of Wettlaufer’s murder victims filed a $12.5-million lawsuit against two nursing homes and a number of other health-care organizations. The victims’ families have made several recommendations that will be read out at the inquiry. This includes that long-term care facilities conduct more substantive reference checks, that the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care overhaul how it conducts inspections, and that the ministry identifies oversight mechanisms to ensure that insulin is not used to harm patients. Caressant Care’s closing statements will reiterate that the facility never suspected Wettlaufer’s crimes despite her mediocre work performance.
