DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT
Safe care happens in the home and community
OCSA released our 2021 Pre-Budget Submission today. We believe that government should invest $595 million in three priority areas by:
1. Taking a home first approach as the primary priority of the health system by investing $350 million in home and community care organizations and services.
2. Achieving wage and job condition parity for staff across health sectors by infusing $235 million into the salaries of key front-line staff.
3. Ensuring the sector plays a main role in the province’s digital care strategy by doubling this year’s sector investment to $10 million in digital and virtual care.
