    CHRONIC CARE MEDIA RELEASES

  • Province's Long Term Care PR announcements are an insult to seniors
    On Monday, the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care announced a schedule of PR events to launch 1,500 (7.5%) of the previously announced long term care beds. This brings the total of beds built since the first announcement in 1998 to 2,121 (10.5%). In an attempt to reduce seniors' ire after Health Minister Tony Clement's recent proposal to implement new means testing for seniors' access to the provincial drug plan, the Ministry has called this series of re-announcements evidence of its "commitment to seniors". Said coalition co-chair Irene Harris today, "That this government could characterize the umpteenth re-announcement about privatized long term care beds as showing a commitment to seniors just adds insult to injury. This government's record on senior's health care is astoundingly callous and short-sighted. These over-hyped beds weren't enough to meet demand four years ago and are certainly not going to be enough four years and numerous of government media events from now when they might finally be complete."
