TORONTO - Ontario hospitals may soon be required to provide information about how they're run to the public.

Premier Dalton McGuinty says he's taking a "good look" at including hospitals in the province's freedom-of-information laws.

He says there might be some real value in making the move to ensure that precious health-care dollars are well spent.

Privacy and information commissioner Ann Cavoukian has long called for hospitals to be included in the legislation, along with universities and Children's Aid societies.

The Ontario Hospital Association has also asked that hospitals be made subject to the law.
