After a February commitment by Premier Dennis King to fund 54 new private long-term care beds, Health Minister Mark McLane says the province plans to commit $25 million for these beds and to help raise wages of private long-term care workers.
A 2022 review of the province’s long-term care sector noted a disparity in pay between public and private sector long-term care homes, as well as differences in levels of care standards public and private homes. "Investing in long-term care is investing in our teams. And that is always an investment I am proud to make," McLane said.
Green MLA Matt MacFarlane noted that the timing commitment for the opening of new long-term care beds amounted to a “moving target with no finish line.” – Stu Neatby - Stu Neatby
