Subject Matter Details

Policies or Program

Expanding access to health care and community care. Specifically, VON recommends that the federal government consider targetted investment in home community care that would be accessed through the the Canada Health Transfer.
VON Canada recommends that the federal government maintain strong funding for technology related to health care, specifically, targetted funding for technology for home and comunity care. This would be done throough funding from Health Canada to Health Infoway ( $100 million).

Policies or Program, Regulation

Argued for the expansion of Taxation credits for family caregivers in Canada - this applies to the Income Tax Act and was meant to reducethe financial burden for caregivers – to help compensate for expenses incurred by families who must purchase services, equipment and supplies that assist loved ones to live independently at home. No regulations were ever mentioned/written but may fall within the purview of IT519, Medical Expense and Disability Tax Credits and Attendant Care Expense Deduction and/or the caregiver and infirm dependant credits.
Investment in a health human resources strategy to better support the availability and work of health professionals in the homecare sector - not applicable to any act as homecare sits outside of Health Act, however argued for the creation of a Pan-Canadian HHR Institute. This institute would conduct work on all sectors of health care, with a significant focus on home care and include both the regulated and unregulated workforce. Health Canada and Human Resources and Skills development Canada are the most likely departments to provide funding.
