Ottawa General: 569 beds
Civic Hospital:549 beds
Montfort Hospital: 289 beds
Queensway Carleton Hospital: 264 beds
The new Civic, which is in a class of its own, is expected to have 800 to 900 beds.
They are also planning for better compensation of medical staff.
No word on the type of services that would be available at this new hospital.
If we're talking number of beds exclusively, I think it should have a minimum of 250 if it becomes the main hospital out of the 4. If it replaces the Hull Hospital, then the new one should have 500 beds.

it seems unlikely that they would outright replace the overwhelmed Hull hospital with a smaller one. A hospital in the fast-growing Aylmer sector makes sense, since the next most accessible hospital is all the way in Shawville.
