’s health care promises won’t come true without more money, Ontario’s financial watchdog says in warning the province is set to fall $21.3 billion and thousands of nurses short by 2028.
“Challenges are expected to persist across Ontario’s health care system,” chief financial accountability officer Peter Weltman said in a 49-page report released Wednesday. “These nurse and PSW shortages will jeopardize Ontario’s ability to sustain current programs and meet program expansion commitments.”
The government will have to boost its health budget with new funding, perhaps from its contingency fund, or from new federal health transfers, to meet Ford’s goals that include thousands more hospital beds, the report added.Prime Minister Justin TrudeauWithout action, Weltman cautioned the hospital bed crunch could be worse in five years than it has been recently.

dmrider I don’t think they’re even spending the money they have budgeted for health. It’s also my understanding that they’re paying nursing agencies more than it would cost just to hire nurses.
