Feds pledge not to ‘micromanage’ provinces in health-care negotiations via CTVNews
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos insists the federal government is going to “work flexibly” with the provinces on the terms of a possible health-care funding deal and avoid “micromanaging” how they deliver health care to Canadians.
While Duclos said any new funding will be attached to accountability and metrics to achieve “better outcomes for patients and workers,” he also said there won’t be a one-size-fits-all approach for all the regions. Meanwhile the federal government has said it’s open to sending more money to the provinces, but with certain conditions and metrics to meet, including reducing backlogs in surgeries and diagnostics; retaining, recruiting, and recognizing the credentials of health-care workers; investing in mental health; and modernizing the system so medical records can be shared with various providers, electronically.
