Here is a comprehensive list of hospital closures in Ontario. Numerous other restructuring actions have been initiated by the Government-established Health Services Restructuring Commission in an attempt to reduce costs. In general, hospital funding has continually declined for several years in spite of a growing and ageing population. What do you think is the result of these changes?
