Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Final Report of Nursing Homes Expert Panel (Resumed)

Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

That is one of the recommendations currently being examined in respect of the implementation oversight group. We will look at how that can be funded, what type of funding should be available and what funding may already be available through various means. There is a temporary finance assistance scheme in place, which will be extended.

There will be opportunities to look at what supports can be provided to nursing homes should they need them and to put additional processes in place to facilitate this.
