We are pleased to inform you of the publication of the Safe Long-Term Care Act engagement: What we heard report. This report summarizes what Health Canada heard through in-person and virtual public consultations on proposed legislation to strengthen access to quality, safe, and equitable long-term care in Canada.
The consultations process garnered wide-ranging and highly informative perspectives from health care organizations, academics, long-term care residents, staff and caregivers, provinces and territories, Indigenous partners, and other federal government departments. The process included a bilingual online questionnaire that was open to the public from July 21 to September 21, 2023 and garnered over 5,000 responses.
