The Ontario government says it is investing two-billion dollars over three years in home care services, nearly one-billion more for hospitals and hundreds of millions to expand primary care coverage. That’s all part of the billions of new dollars set aside for health care in the newly tabled budget. The finance minister says the new money for home care will be spent on increasing compensation for nurses, personal support workers and other front-line home care providers. The budget also says the government will invest an additional 446-million dollars over three years on its primary care expansion strategy.
