The province is creating 1,200 new beds in hospitals across Ontario in an effort to address overcrowded wards.
As part of that effort, the government is reopening two shuttered Toronto hospital sites the Humber River Hospital's Finch Site and the University Health Network's Hillcrest site to create a total of 225 beds.
According to the Ontario government website, Niagara will be getting 25 beds at the Welland site, 1 bed has been allocated to the general Niagara Health System, and 10 short-term transitional care spaces will open up at Niagara retirement homes.
65 additional spaces will be allocated across the Hamilton-Niagara-Halidman-Brant LHIN as needed.
The province will spend $140 million on its plan to create more hospital beds and home care services.
Health Minister Eric Hoskins said last month he had asked hospitals and local health officials across Ontario to come up with plans to alleviate bed shortages in their communities.
