After 18 months, the Pallister government has finally signed onto the federal health accord. Here's an excerpt:
The deal will see $182 million flow into Manitoba's health-care system over the next five years. There's an option to renew the deal after that, for a total 10-year pledge of $400 million in funding.
The funding is earmarked for improving home care and ensuring more people receive treatment at home. Improvements to rural palliative care, mental health and addiction services and developing a pregnancy and infant-loss program are also specified.
The province held out on signing the deal for more than 18 months, saying repeatedly that negotiations between the two governments were ongoing. Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor said in an interview earlier this month she's "extremely disappointed" it took this long.
