A new report has exposed a deepening hospital funding crisis across Ontario, with findings presented in Sudbury on Wednesday as part of a province-wide tour. The report, titled 'Failure, By Design: Ontario’s Deepening Hospital Funding Crisis,' was highlighted by Northern Ontario News and details systemic underfunding that is putting pressure on healthcare facilities.
