The Ford government says it’s boosting funding for hospitals, pediatric care, mental health and home care as part of its plan to reform health care in Ontario.
The provincial budget released yesterday shows an 850-million-dollar increase in spending for hospitals — a four per cent boost in base funding.
It also includes 200-million dollars to address health-care staffing shortages.
Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy says the government plans to spend more than 15-billion dollars in new funding over the next three years on health care.
