\"\"<\/p>\n

To help ease the pressure on overcrowded hospital wards, the province is creating 1,200 new beds across Ontario.<\/p>\n

22 beds will be at the Lakeridge Health Oshawa site and there will be short-term transitional care spaces provided at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences in Whitby.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll also re-open two Toronto hospitals, the Humber River Hospital\u2019s Finch location and the University Health Network\u2019s Hillcrest site, which will create 225 more beds.<\/p>\n

The two facilities had been closed recently with patients and staff being transferred elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The funding, totaling $140-million, will go toward both the beds and more home care services. It comes at a time when hospitals are preparing for an increase in demand with the flu season approaching.<\/p>\n
