Officials also said budget projections will mean the province will cut\u00a0$5.2 billion in unannounced and unidentified cost savings over the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our hope in doing this, and the campaigning that people like the Ontario Health Coalition do, is that the government will reverse itself on these cuts,&#8221; said Michael Hurley, the president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the goal here, is that they will reconsider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fao-on.org\/en\/Blog\/Publications\/estimates-health-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a report released<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in May, found that &#8220;funding for the [health] ministry is entering a new period of restraint,&#8221; and that, if the 1.8 per cent average annual increase in spending ($1.1 billion per year) is maintained until 2023-2024, it &#8220;would be only the second time in over 40 years that health ministry annual spending growth averaged less than [two] per cent over an extended period.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 budget tabled as the former Liberal government was seeking re-election earmarked $2.7 billion more for healthcare over the next two years than what&#8217;s projected in the 2019 document, the financial watchdog said.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford government pledged to end &#8220;hallway medicine,&#8221; or the practice of patients being treated in hospital corridors because there aren&#8217;t enough beds. The 2019 budget document said the Tories, last fall, committed $90 million for 1,100 beds and spaces in hospitals and community spaces across Ontario, including at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and Hogarth Riverview Manor.<\/p>\n<p>In an email to Radio-Canada, a spokesperson for Health Minister Christine Elliott called CUPE&#8217;s numbers &#8220;unrealistic and misleading,&#8221; saying that the regional health sciences centre will see a $10.6 million increase in base funding this year. Further new investments of $144 million for home and community care will &#8220;focus on increasing frontline care delivery, such as personal support services, nursing, therapy and other professional services at home and in the community,&#8221; the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n<p>A settlement\u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/toronto\/ontario-doctors-contract-1.5044854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reached with the province&#8217;s doctors<\/a><\/span>\u00a0earlier in 2019 is expected to be the main reason that almost half of the annual average 1.8 per cent funding increases will go to OHIP&#8217;s physicians and practitioners program area, the financial accountability office said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s left leaves hospitals, in particular, well short of their real operating needs,&#8221; Hurley said, adding that hospitals need annual spending increases of about four per cent per year, owing to doctors&#8217; salaries, medical technology and the cost of offering drugs in hospital free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>The extent of what he called future cuts to maintain projected spending and where they will happen isn&#8217;t yet known, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re going to be swamped, really, is the bottom line,&#8221; Hurley said. &#8220;Where are these people going to be cared for? They&#8217;re either not going to get care, or they&#8217;re going to be stacked in hallways waiting for care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Personnel that the region can expect to lack in the future includes nurses, lab and other support staff, Hurley said.<\/p>\n<p>The province said $27 billion in spending is earmarked over the next 10 years to create more than 3,000 new hospital beds across
