HALIFAX, Sept. 5, 2018 /CNW/ – Unifor welcomes the establishment of an expert advisory panel on Nova Scotia’s long-term care system.
“The system is under-funded. Workers, most of whom are women, earn low to modest wages. The funding cuts by the McNeil government have made it harder for a system that was already challenged to deliver high quality care,” said Lana Payne, Unifor’s Atlantic Regional Director.
“Workers are stressed to the max, working short staffed, and worried about their patients and residents, most of whom are seniors.”
The panel was announced today by Health Minister Randy Delorey.
