Better Home Care: A National Action Plan
As part of a new multi-year Health Accord, the federal government intends to work with provincial and territorial governments in their efforts to make home care more available. Better Home Care: A National Action Plan will provide clear direction and achievable goals to make this happen.
The CFPC, the Canadian Home Care Association (CHCA), the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) have partnered to spearhead the Action Plan. Consultations will include invitational policy roundtables, surveys and calls for innovation. Add your voice to the consultations by filling out the survey.
