Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones says the province will increase base funding for public health units by one per cent a year over the next three years
Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones says the province will be offering funding to public health units that want to merge and will reverse cuts to a public health funding formula.
Jones says today in a speech to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference that she will be working with the sector to “clarify public health roles and responsibilities to reduce overlap” and will give one-time funding to public health units that voluntarily merge. She also announced that Ontario will return to being responsible for 75 per cent of the share of public health costs, reversing a cut the government introduced in 2019 when it moved from a 75-25 public health cost-sharing formula with municipalities to 70-30.
