Timmins Hospital asking for provincial help

The Timmins and District Hospital is asking to Ontario Government to step in, after it was discovered just before the weekend that it will operate with a deficit into the 2018-19 year. This is after, according to the Hospital, the provincial budget fell short of the needed increase. This year, the hospital says they got an extra $600,000, or 0.9%. The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA), had lobbied the Ontario government for just over a 4.5% increase.
