Half of Ontario hospitals in poor state of repair, accountability office says

A new report finds that almost half of Ontario’s hospitals are in a poor state of repair.

Ontario hospitals strive to clear surgery backlog as patients remain in limbo due to COVID-19

That’s far worse than the situation involving roads, bridges and other infrastructure.

The Financial Accountability Office estimates the province owns infrastructure worth about a quarter of a trillion dollars.

Overall, it says about one third is in poor repair.

Remedying the situation won’t come cheap.
