Montreal – As the government implements a wave of budget cuts, should its home-care strategy, to be announced this fall, rely more on families to ensure the needs of seniors are met? Should it expand the role of the private sector in long-term care? On November 6, the IRPP will bring together an experts panel to explore these and other questions on this topic.
Jean-Pierre Lavoie, adjunct professor at the School of Social Work at McGill University and Université du Québec à Montréal, will discuss the recommendations in his recent IRPP study (written in collaboration with Nancy Guberman and Patrik Marier). Also on the panel will be Julie Miville-Dechêne, president of the Conseil du statut de la femme, and Martine Castonguay, founder of l’Organisation de l’habitation et de l’hébergement pour l’individu and former director general of the Association des ressources intermédiaires d’hébergement du Québec.
