The hospital network eliminated 59 positions and reassigned 71 others.<\/p>\n<p>This announcement follows the hospital reporting a $78-million deficit for the last fiscal year and a $150-million deficit for the upcoming 2024-25 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>But London is not alone. The CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association said in a statement early forecasts indicate that many hospitals will likely be projecting deficits for the 2024-25 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the government of Ontario delivered a significant investment in the hospital sector in the 2024 to 2025 budget, many hospitals are facing financial challenges due to a greater demand for hospital services and the increased cost of doing business. From labour to supplies, hospital-sector costs have been rising and continue to do so,\u201d Anthony Dale said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__label\">Story continues below advertisement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This was echoed by the Ontario Health Coalition\u2019s executive director, Natalie Mehra, who said that while it is fair for people to be upset by the inflated compensation for CEOs and the number of vice-presidents leading to some of the overages in London, the main issue is a lack of funding from the province.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHospital funding in this province is the lowest of any province in Canada by far, and Canada is actually very low compared to our peer nations. Why? It\u2019s about privatization,\u201d Mehra says. \u201cEvery service cut from public hospitals is privatized and handed over to for-profit industries, and that has really driven the downsizing of our public hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to comments made by the Ontario Health Coalition, Hannah Jensen, a spokesperson for the minister of health, said the provincial government has invested over $85 billion this year alone, a 31 per cent increase from 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFacts matter, and while the Ontario Health Coalition, an out-of-touch, NDP-backed special interest group, has spent the last decade accomplishing nothing while standing ideologically opposed to innovation taking place in the health care system, our government is taking bold action to connect more people to the care they need, when they need it,\u201d Jensen wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Jensen also pointed to the government\u2019s efforts to add more nurses to the workforce and make it easier for internationally trained nurses to practise in the province.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__label\">Story continues below advertisement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cTogether these changes have allowed Ontario to achieve some of the lowest wait times across the country and the highest attachment rate to primary care\u00a0and are all investments the opposition have voted against,\u201d Jensen said.<\/p>\n<p>Dale notes that on a per-capita basis, Ontario hospitals have been operating with very low bed numbers compared with other provinces and countries for many years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteadily growing demographic pressures, a shortage of services elsewhere in the health system (home care, long-term care, primary care and more) has led to tight hospital capacity and lengthy wait times for Ontarians, as hospitals remain the backstop of the system,\u201d Dale said.<\/p>\n<p>Mehra said staffing shortages throughout the year have led to the closure of emergency departments throughout the province over the last few years. She adds that provincial money is not keeping pace with inflation, and hospitals are increasing operating costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll year, the hospitals ran with real dollar cuts in the worst staffing crisis we\u2019ve ever seen, with more costs for overtime, more costs for staffing, private for-profit staffing agencies and so on,\u201d Mehra said.<\/p>\n<p>Dale added that in recent years, a lot of work has gone into shoring up services across the health system, like adding 3,500 new hospital beds, funding for additional procedures, addressing the diagnostic backlog, and pediatric care and\u00a0mental health.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__label\">Story continues below advertisement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But he notes while hospitals have tried to make the most of these investments by working to shorten hospital stays, maximizing the use of day surgery, and helping people avoid hospital admissions where possible, they continue to face financial challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact of Bill 124<\/h2>\n<p>The Ontario NDP health critic France G\u00e9linas warns that the\u00a0health-care system\u00a0is in crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a law in Ontario that hospitals cannot have a deficit \u2014 they have to have a balanced budget or a surplus. Of the 142 hospital corporations in Ontario, the great majority of them, if not all, have asked to ask the government for exceptions to the legislation because all of them are facing a deficit,\u201d she said. \u201cThe number one reason for the deficits, though, is Bill 124.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both the Ontario Hospitals Association and Ontario Health Coalition say that\u00a0Bill 124\u2019s overturning in November 2022 compounded the financial issues hospitals face.<\/p>\n<p>Bill 124 capped salary increases for broader public sector workers at one per cent a year for three years, but after the Court of Appeal for\u00a0Ontario\u00a0ruled it unconstitutional, the government repealed it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__label\">Story continues below advertisement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt led to multiple arbitration decisions providing additional compensation payments to affected staff. An unprecedented and unplanned event, hospitals were required to make retroactive payments covering two to four years over a compressed timeline,\u201d Dale said.<\/p>\n<p>The Ontario Hospital Association\u2019s CEO said that while the province\u2019s Ministry of Health has funded a portion of incremental labour expenses, hospitals are currently waiting for additional in-year funding to address this pressure and balance their books at year-end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe OHA is continuing its discussions with government to ensure financial stability of the hospital system and to plan for the future,\u201d Dale said. \u201cThese pressures underscore the very urgent need for new solutions that can revitalize the hospital sector, augment the work that is already in progress, and redesign health-based services in Ontario to meet the future demands that will be placed on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/10752713\/ontario-hospitals-failing-balance-books-financial-challenges\/\">Click here for the original article<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(September 14, 2024) By: Sawyer Bogdan, Global News Critics say the situation at the\u00a0London Health Sciences Centre\u00a0speaks to a larger issue, with health experts warning that most Ontario hospitals are projecting a deficit.
