LET’S FIX HEALTHCARE
For too long our healthcare system has been broken with no plan to fix it. Until we see bold change, you’ll keep getting the busy signal at the walk-in clinic, nurses and doctors will leave our province for one that appreciates them, and our waitlists will continue to grow.
A Holt government will care for those who are caring for us and embrace the change needed to get our healthcare system working – for us and for all healthcare professionals.
30 New community care clinics
Team Holt will cut wait times by establishing at least 30 community care clinics across NB. The clinics will offer local, collaborative care from a variety of health professionals in one place when you need it.
We will provide dedicated non-clinical staff and administrative support to these clinics to ensure healthcare providers are focused on patients, not paperwork.
Retain and recruit healthcare professionals
Healthcare workers in NB have been disrespected by Higgs for too long. Team Holt will give retention payments to nurses and improve working conditions for all.
Team Holt will provide retention payments to nurses – $10,000 for the first year and $5,000 in year two that will go to all nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses employed by Vitalité and Horizon.
Team Holt will also create a multi-pronged plan developed for all healthcare professionals to improve working conditions, prioritize support for their wellness, and increase retention.
Investing in long term care
Seniors are feeling forgotten. While over 1,100 people wait for a long-term care bed, 535 seniors are waiting in a hospital. Seniors and their families deserve to have options and the ability to make decisions about their care with dignity, but the lack of long-term care resources is placing stress on them and our hospitals.
Team Holt will invest in home care and long-term care, moving those waiting in hospitals to a more appropriate setting. This will allow our hospitals the space and capacity to address emergency care and surgery times.
Team Holt is Focused on Healthcare!
