MPP David Piccini was joined by Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health, Dawn Gallagher Murphy to announce over 5 and a half million dollars of funding for Northumberland Hills Hospital.
“The Ontario Government is building a stronger public health system, with care that is closer to home and more convenient for Ontarians” said MPP David Piccini. “This is another big increase in base funding for NHH that builds on historic investments we have made in this unbelievable hospital who boast such remarkable staff who do great work. They deserve it.”
The funding includes an increase of over 2 million dollars to support the permanent addition of 10 new beds which NHH President and CEO Susan Walsh told us shows the governments ongoing commitment to the hospital.
“Ensuring Ontarians have the care they need, when and where they need it, is a core promise of our government,” said Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health. Dawn Gallagher Murphy. “The more than $5.5 million investment in the healthcare services provided by Northumberland Hills Hospital is a clear demonstration of this commitment.”
Walsh told us as our population grows, more and more people are counting on the hospital to be able to support their health care needs.
In addition, 1.5 million dollars will be allocated to support the expansion of on-call service and 1.8 million to hospital core services.
