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.
