Ontario is set to inject billions of new dollars into health care, the budget for the upcoming fiscal year shows.
The province said it is investing $2 billion over three years in home care services, nearly $1 billion more for hospitals and hundreds of millions to expand primary care coverage.
"A big chunk of this money is going to supporting the wages and recruiting and retaining more health-care workers so they can take care of people where they want to be taken care of," Bethlenfalvy said. "With growing demands on our health system from a rapidly aging population, this increased funding will help ensure more Ontarians can get the health care they require in the most appropriate setting – at home."Last month, the government said it would spend $110 million for the upcoming year to help connect 300,000 Ontarians to a primary care team.
In an effort to boost the number of family doctors in the province, the government said it is investing in a new medical school, at York University in Vaughan, that will focus on family physicians. "This investment also includes funding for stabilization and management of the surgical system, with a focus on maximizing capacity to increase the number of surgeries performed," the budget said.
