Prime Minister Mark Carney (CPAC)<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister is introducing federal funding of $5 billion over the next three years that will be dedicated to health infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The money will be used to help prioritize upgrades to \u201ccritical health infrastructure\u201d including hospitals, urgent care centres and facilities for palliative care, mental health care, and long-term care.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister made the announcement in Brampton, Ontario yesterday as part of a larger focus on infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a new priority for the federal government\u201d says Carney, \u201cbecause in many communities, hospitals were built in the 1970s, and they\u2019re now serving populations that are twice as big as they were designed for. Families are waiting too long for the care they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says Ottawa is \u201cdeploying $5 billion through a health infrastructure fund to build more emergency departments, and new urgent care centres.\u201d He says that will also include long term care, palliative care and mental health care.<\/p>\n

The provincial government has already indicated that it plans to revitalize St. Clare\u2019s Hospital after putting the brakes on the previous government\u2019s plans to build a new hospital complex at Kenmount Crossing.<\/p>\n
