GNGH Named Second Most Overcrowded Hospital in Ontario

Greater Niagara General Hospital is the second most overcrowded hospital in Ontario.

That's according to a CBC report, using information obtained through a freedom of information request.

It says the Niagara Falls hospital is actually tied with Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

They both went 176 days over 100-percent capacity between January and June of last year.

Richmond Hill Hospital topped the list with 179 days.

The report says the average patient waited 46 hours in the ER at Greater Niagara General Hospital, before getting a bed on a ward in November.
