Emergency wait-times platforms

Here's what the 2025 Ontario election parties are promising.
We don't have any PC policies on Emergency wait-times.

ONDP

  • Restore 24/7 emergency services to Welland Hospital
  • Return to 90/10 cost sharing with municipalities for ambulance services for the next two years

    "We will ensure you can call 911 from everywhere in the North and improve access to emergency medical services. We will return to 90/10 cost sharing with municipalities for ambulance services for two years to get more ambulances and paramedics on the road while maintaining locally focused delivery in partnership with municipal service managers." — On Your Side: The Ontario NDP Plan for the North, retrieved 2025-02-20
