The Northwestern Health Unit says it has no plans to increase its municipal levy this year.

The Health Unit has finalized its 2009 budget. Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Jim Arthurs says local towns and cities don't have to worry about a hike in their contribution.

Instead, the province has promised to increase its share of its funding to health units across Ontario by three percent this year.
