The Ontario Bar Association has made a submission on a proposed regulation issued by the Ontario government under the recently passed Fixing Long-Term Care Act, 2021.
In Jan. 2021, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care issued Phase 1 Regulation to support the intent of the new long-term care law and address some of the critical areas related to resident care, such as emergency planning, resident safety, staffing, and accountability, enforcement and transparency. The health ministry also invited the affected stakeholders to submit their feedback on the proposed regulation until Feb. 17.
