TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he had a productive meeting with two federal ministers on Ottawa's health-care funding offer, but there is still "a little bit" of work to do.
On the way in to the meeting, Ford said he was looking for more money on home care and long-term care and longer financial commitments from the federal government. Ottawa would also provide an immediate one-time $2 billion top-up to help ease pressures on emergency rooms and children's hospitals, plus another $25 billion this year for family doctors, mental health, surgical backlogs and health data systems.
"It was very productive meeting, there's still a little bit of work to do," Ford said, standing shoulder-to-shoulder outside his office with the federal ministers.
