Manitoba Tories Say They Would Create More Personal Care Home Beds

The Canadian Press, 29 Mar, 2016 11:21 AM
    WINNIPEG — Manitoba's Progressive Conservatives say they will boost personal care home beds for seniors if the party wins next month's election.
     
    Leader Brian Pallister says the Tories would build 1,200 new beds over eight years in office.
     
    He says people are waiting as long as six months for a personal care home bed.
     
    Pallister says the shortage has led to clogged emergency rooms and hospitals as seniors wait for a placement.
     
    He says the New Democrats have only built 20 new beds a year while in office.
     
    The NDP has promised to create 1,000 more beds in personal care homes if the party is re-elected on April 19.
