TORONTO (CP) -- The Ontario government must commit several hundred million dollars to aid hospitals overburdened by explosive population growth in the regions surrounding Toronto, says a report to be released today.

"If GTA hospitals were to be funded on a fair-share basis with respect to the rest of Ontario, there's this gap of several hundred millions dollars that needs to be addressed," a source familiar with the report told The Canadian Press.

The report from the GTA/905 Healthcare Alliance was to be tabled today and focuses on the state of hospital care in the regions of Durham, Halton, Peel and York.
