Panel of experts with the non-profit Health Standards Organization recommends that residents should get at least four hours of direct care every day, and that those who work with them must be paid more
The Liberals must enshrine new standards for long-term care homes in law to fulfil a pledge in the confidence-and-supply agreement that would help keep their minority government in power, the health critic for the New Democrats said Tuesday.
NDP MP Don Davies, the health critic for his party, said these new standards must provide the foundation for that promised legislation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that he recognizes the provinces are responsible for delivering and regulating the care, but all Canadians want to see seniors’ care held to the highest standard possible.
He suggested the standards could become the basis of provincial legislation, policy, or some other means of accountability. Duclos suggested the government might sign bilateral deals with individual provinces to enforce the new standards.
