The Globe and Mail - Ottawa and provinces are on a collision course over long-term care

Dr. Samir Sinha, NIA Director of Health Policy Research and chair of the HSO’s technical committee, said Ottawa has supported the standards, but he is concerned jurisdictional issues will slow “desperately” needed progress, including legislation.

“I don’t know of any Canadian who is impressed with our current standards of long-term care in any province or territory,” Dr. Sinha said in an interview.
