CUPE/OCHU release 'Pushed Over the Brink' report
The Ontario Council of Hospital Unions and CUPE publish a report calling for a roughly 6% annual funding increase, citing rising costs, aging patients, and capacity strain.
Baseline: roughly 7 million annual inpatient days
At the start of the decade measured in the report, Ontario hospitals recorded approximately seven million inpatient days annually.
A new CUPE/OCHU report shows Ontario inpatient days climbed 29% to over 9 million over a decade, with length of stay up 15% and 61% of beds held by patients 65 and older. The unions argue hospitals need a 6% annual funding increase just to hold current service levels.
Ontario's largest budget line faces structural escalation: a union report says inpatient days rose 29% in a decade to over 9 million, with 61% of beds held by patients 65 and older, prompting a call for 6% annual funding growth. The Ministry of Health did not verify the figures, leaving the funding ask as an unconfirmed bargaining position.
