flag Algoma Public Health seeks more funding for Ontario’s seniors dental program due to rising demand and insufficient provincial support.

flag Algoma Public Health is requesting increased base funding for the Ontario Seniors Dental Program in 2025, citing rising demand and insufficient provincial support. flag Despite a 3.6% budget increase to $17.9 million, the agency faces a $128,000 shortfall in program expenses, largely due to high utilization of dental services for seniors. flag The province approved only a 1% increase for mandatory cost-shared programs, which APH says is inadequate amid inflation. flag While Infection Prevention and Control Hub funding is secured through 2028/29, APH continues to await formal approval for 2025/26 disbursements and expresses frustration over delayed provincial payments affecting service delivery.
