spent almost $14 billion on health
care, one-third of the entire provin
cial budget. That makes Ontario
the highest per capita spender on
health care in Canada. And the cost
of health care per person in
southwestern Ontario is the highest
of any region in the province.
“Our vision is that people have
equitable access to effective, quali
ty care, as close to home as
possible, and that they have the
knowledge and therefore the op
portunity to be well,” the commis
sion says. The commission will
focus on making sure southwestern
Ontario health services are acces
sible, affordable, effective and
appropriate and that providers
co-ordinate their efforts to supply
all needed care, including special
ty care, as close to home as
possible. It will also try to ensure
that resources for medical research
and education are maintained and
put to the fullest and best use.
