By Rosalind Russell – Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Bill Rosenberg has announced the province, through its 2025 budget, has increased funding for hospitals including several in the riding.
Rosenberg says the Ontario government is providing an increase in funding across the hospital sector by four percent for 2025-26.
Rosenberg says the province is dedicating one percent of the increase, $11 million dollars, to provide targeted funding to address key structural pressures at specific hospitals, including Espanola Regional Hospital & Health Centre, the North Shore Health Network, St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Elliot Lake, and the Manitoulin Health Centre,
Rosenberg says the other three percent was delivered late last year.
