Ontario Connecting Children and Youth to Care Close to Home

Our government is boosting funding in pediatric health services by an additional $330 million each year to connect children and youth to more convenient and high-quality care close to home at hospitals, clinics, and community-based health care facilities across Ontario.

With this new investment, over 100 high-priority initiatives will be quickly implemented to ensure children and youth in every corner of the province can connect to emergency care, surgeries, ambulatory services, diagnostic imaging, and mental health services.

This consistent and stable funding increase will also allow pediatric hospitals to make significant increases to staffing to ensure they have the people and resources needed to prevent backlogs and improve access to care.
