Premier Tim Houston made the announcement during Wednesday’s COVID-19 briefing, saying the province is investing $65 million in health authorities, long-term care and home care to increase pay for CCAs. This will bump wages for unionized and non-unionized CCAs at all levels in the publicly funded sector by roughly 23 percent, effective Thursday. Houston made a plea to those who left the profession because they felt undervalued. “Please come back,” he said. “We need you now more than ever. We want you, we need you, we value you and we respect you. If we can get people to return to the industry, it will have an incredibly positive impact and help with capacity issues.” Houston said one necessary step to increasing capacity in the health care system is working with the long-term care sector to open more beds as quickly as possible. But he said they don’t have the staff to open those beds as the continuing care sector is facing serious recruitment and retention issues. Meantime, NDP Leader Gary Burrill released a statement, saying it is a good start to improving the situations of both workers and residents of long-term care. But he added there are other workers in the sector who also need wages that reflect the importance of their work. 3 comments 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Nova Scotia still struggles with inclusion in the workplace, panel hears next post Pandemic has had an impact on romantic relationships: poll You may also like كارني تعهّد بتوحيد بلد منقسم من أجل مواجهة... 29 أبريل، 2025 احتفاظ الليبراليين بقيادة كارني بالسلطة في أوتاوا 29 أبريل، 2025 Liberals complete the sweep of Halifax-area ridings 29 أبريل، 2025 Province updates school code of conduct amid rise... 29 أبريل، 2025 Liberals make gains in Nova Scotia amid tight... 29 أبريل، 2025 RMCP search for missing Lower Sackville woman 26 أبريل، 2025 Canadians at pope’s funeral say ceremony reflected his... 26 أبريل، 2025 2alarm blaze decimates home in Middle Sackville 26 أبريل، 2025 Israeli airstrike kills 10 people, half of them... 26 أبريل، 2025 كارني يندّد بالحصار الغذائي الإسرائيلي على قطاع غزة 26 أبريل، 2025 3 comments Craig Cordovi 30 أبريل، 2022 - 10:52 م Apple at present contains Rhapsody as an app, which is a fantastic commence, yet it is at present hampered by the incapacity in direction of retail store regionally on your iPod, and contains a dismal 64kbps bit cost.
