Jack Layton and the New Democrats will:

Create a pan-Canadian home care program, as recommended in the Romanow Report on the future of Medicare, including:

• Helping people stay healthy at home and avoid hospital visits.
• Home mental health care case management.
• Post-acute medical care.
• Post-acute rehabilitation.
• Palliative home care.

Our home care program will give 100,000 more Canadian families access to home care. It will significantly reduce wait times for seniors and hospital patients.
