Ontario will be expanding its publicly funded surgical and diagnostic centres to reduce wait times for MRIs, CT scans, and endoscopies, Premier Doug Ford announced.
The province will spend $155 million over two years to add 57 new facilities across the province that will provide MRI and CT scans and gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy services, the Ontario government announced in a June 27 news release. The province says the expansion will help connect 1.2 million people to publicly funded services “faster.”
