Congrats to you @ltamblynwatts and @DrSamirSinha for moving LTC standards to the top of the agenda for 🇨🇦 healthcare renewal
Canada needs #nationalstandards for #LongTermCare. We also need the funding & staffing to implement those needed changes. We're crossing our fingers that the #health ministers meetup on Feb 7 includes dedicated funding for #seniors care. @CanAgeSeniors @MoiraWelsh @cbcradio
