安大略医院面临1B的赤字,通过延迟雇用和重新配置工作人员削减费用,在资金短缺的情况下危及护理质量。 Ontario hospitals face a $1B deficit, cutting costs via delayed hires and reassigning staff, risking care quality amid funding shortfalls.

安大略医院正在通过低风险措施削减费用,如推迟雇用和在10亿美元结构性赤字和27亿美元额外资金需要的情况下重新分配工作人员任务。 Ontario hospitals are cutting costs through low-risk measures like delaying hires and reassigning staff tasks amid a $1 billion structural deficit and a need for $2.7 billion in additional funding. 由于每年的资金仅增加2%,即以前水平的一半——以及更广泛的省级预算压力,医院正在使用资本储备来开展业务。 With only 2% annual funding increases—half of previous levels—and broader provincial budget pressures, hospitals are using capital reserves for operations. 虽然政府表示患者护理仍不受影响,但批评人士警告说, 人员短缺已经在急剧增加期间影响了护理. While the government says patient care remains unaffected, critics warn staffing shortages are already impacting care during surges. 随着资金紧张加剧,可能有必要进一步削减核心服务或合并方案。 Further cuts to core services or program consolidations may become necessary as financial strain deepens.
