Local hospitals must capitalize on new provincial funding

By MPP Toby Barrett

Ontario’s response to COVID-19 has been to support frontline workers, build healthcare capacity and invest in our hospitals.

We continued to respond to the pandemic by creating more beds; for example, Norfolk General Hospital (NGH) got a boost of $2.35 million for up to 12 new beds.

Investments in other hospitals in Ontario help to relieve pressures on our local hospitals, like NGH, experiencing increased hospitalizations and ICU occupancy rates.
