Growth in Canada's health spending increased slightly but has remained below pre-pandemic levels and is expected to reach $344 billion in 2023, new data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information says.

The institute's health-care spending data includes money spent by the public sector, private sector and money paid by individuals.

But in 2022, the annual growth in health spending decreased to 1.5 per cent — and has risen by a"modest" 2.8 per cent in 2023, said Christopher Kuchciak, manager of health expenditures at CIHI."We had that surge in emergency response and so this is returning to pre-pandemic levels of growth." Health-care spending in 2023 is about $8,245 per person in Ontario, while it is $23,652 in Nunavut, the report said.

Another five per cent of public sector spending comes through federal government health care responsibilities — including Indigenous communities and people serving in the military — and municipally-funded services, such as local public health.
