Glen Abernethy: Long-Term Care Plan
Delivered on September 20, 2017
Mr. Speaker, the priorities of the 18th Legislative Assembly include a commitment to take action so that Seniors can age in place. Our government’s mandate builds on this priority by committing the Department of Health and Social Services to complete a projection of programming needs; develop updated capital plans to address the need for long-term care beds, and to develop a regulatory framework and financing options that will allow us to meet the growing demand for long-term care in the Northwest Territories.
