Ontario’s financial watchdog says the province is expected to be short 33,000 nurses and personal support workers in five years.It shows government will be short $21-billion to cover its commitments to expand hospitals, long-term care and home care.
The FAO says the province could address the funding shortfall by incrementally spending more in upcoming budgets and a boost from Ontario’s ballooning contingency fund. “I wouldn’t be doing my job as finance minster if I didn’t have contingencies,” said Bethlenfalvy at a press conference on Wednesday. Speaking to Premier Doug Ford he then said “Premier if I didn’t have contingencies before the pandemic, you know when you said I want to spare no expense, then I wouldn’t be doing my job if I’d said Premier I don’t have enough money.”
She says they will use money from the pending health-care deal with the federal government to hire more nurses and sign up more people with family doctors.
