Provincial health officials say they are aiming to increase capacity in the hospital system to somewhere between 110 and 115 per cent by late fall in order to deal with the backlog of surgeries and procedures that built up during Ontario’s COVID-19 lockdown.

Officials said Wednesday that they will spend $324 million to try and work through the backlog, adding 67,000 additional surgeries and procedures between October and spring 2022.

The province said its plan is based on wait times for “actual” numbers of patients moving through the system.
