The Ontario government will be funding hip and knee replacement surgeries at four private clinics over the next two years, as the province expands the number of private facilities that provide publicly funded health care.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones said Ontario will provide $125 million beginning next year to add up to 20,000 orthopedic surgeries at community clinics in a bid to reduce wait times.
