TORONTO The Canadian Union of Public Employees says current spending proposals by the provincial government will put Northwestern Ontario hospitals under significant cost pressures.
CUPE held a news conference Wednesday to release a union research paper called
Ontario Hospital Crisis: Overcapacity and Under Threat.
It said it used government data to extrapolate spending projections, and found that province-wide hospital funding will fall almost $600 million behind in the first year, and over $4.4 billion in eight years.
Assuming that staffing follows funding, CUPE said this would mean about 15 per cent less staff relative to demand.
A SPECIALLY adapted minibus has been donated to a children’s charity by a Bolton organisation so that families who have lost a child or have a child with complex health needs can enjoy a day out. Bolton At Home made the donation to Reuben’s Retreat, a charity set up by Nicola Graham whose son Reuben died in August 2012 aged just 23 months. Wanting to support families in similar situations, Nicola created the charity which provides therapeutic activities, counselling, peer support groups as well as fun activities and short breaks. Reuben’s Retreat has helped over 1,169 individuals across the UK since it was launched.
