flag Ontario hospitals must cut costs over three years, risking service cuts if savings aren't met.

flag Ontario hospitals must develop three-year plans to cut costs amid fiscal concerns, with potential service reductions or bed closures possible if savings aren't achieved, though patient access remains a priority. flag The province faces ongoing deficits through at least 2030 due to economic pressures and trade tariffs, prompting hospitals to pursue low-risk savings like optimizing operating rooms and boosting non-government revenue. flag While high-risk changes would only be considered after lower-risk options, hospital leaders warn rising demand from an aging population may strain care access. flag Critics argue hospitals are already efficient with little room for further savings. flag The government emphasizes responsible planning and long-term stability but hasn't disclosed how many hospitals proposed cuts.
