NEW: Ontario is unlikely to meet its health-care goals due to underspending and staffing shortages, a report has found.
that found the bill infringes on the applicants' rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining.HISTORIC HOSPITAL WAIT TIMES
In 2022-23, the average length of stay in an emergency department for patients admitted to hospitals was about 20.9 hours, the report found. Last year, Ontario logged 145 unplanned emergency department closures as a result of staffing shortages and higher-than-usual capacity. However, the FAO says the province is unlikely to achieve this given the funding shortfall and the length of the waitlist for long-term care, which makes moving ALC patients challenging. There are also over 39,000 people waiting for a spot in long-term care.Even if the government was able to expand capacity by 7,000 beds, the FAO projects Ontario will still need an additional 500 spots to meet the province’s growing and aging population.
As it stands, the FAO projects the province will add 53,700 staff over the next six years, primarily by accelerated registration for international nurses and increasing enrolment in post-secondary education programs. The FAO says Ontario has the lowest wages for nurses in Canada, partly due to government wage restraint policies over the last 10 years. This has created additional challenges in both hiring and retaining staff in the health sector, the FAO found.
