In January 2016, the Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union released Broken Homes, Nurses Speak Out on the State of Long-term Care in Nova Scotia and offer Solutions for a Sustainable Future. 

In light of the importance of many of the issues raised in the report the Minister of Health and Wellness agreed to the creation of a Committee comprising the Nurses’ Union, employer representatives, the Health Authority, and Department staff to discuss points of agreement from the recommendations and ways to move forward with implementation. 

This is the report that was submitted to the Minister of Health by the Committee.
