$18 million of the new funding will go towards making the emergency room at the Peel Memorial hospital a 24-hour urgent care centre and $3 million will be invested to enhance the cancer care centre at the Brampton Civic Hospital
Premier Doug Ford is pledging $21 million to expand capacity and improve services at the William Osler Health System in Brampton, Ont.
Ford says these funding commitments are part of his government’s plan to invest more than $30 billion over the next 10 years to improve the province’s health care infrastructure. “That’s way our government is adding 160 undergraduate positions and 295 postgraduate positions to Ontario’s medical schools.”
The Progressive Conservative government has made a string of health spending announcements in recent weeks, with the provincial election fast approaching. NDP Deputy Leader Sara Singh says Ford has delayed investing in the Brampton hospital until just before the election, noting that these funding announcements won’t be in the province’s budget this year.
