/2 When the first of many multi-billion-dollar annual health transfers to the provinces was issued, it included funds recommended by the federal government to improve provincial home care services. When I and my CEO colleagues attended our regular monthly CEO meeting with
/3 the deputy minister of health at the time, we expectantly inquired when we would receive our share of funds to expand and reform our regional home care programs. The deputy minister looked at us and stated that since the federal government had not stipulated how the new
/4 money was to be spent β no strings attached β the provincial government had redirected the funds to general revenue to reduce the provincial deficit. Any chance of successful health reform and renewal was further prevented by the fact that during this post-millennium
/5 period, most provincial governments were struggling with growing deficits and public debt. Subsequently, in the hope to reduce the mounting financial dilemma, the provinces decided to dismantle the existing system of regional health authorities right across the country to

My advice to the federal government, to hold the provincial governments accountable, is to break the new Canada Health Transfers into three sub-accounts, as follows:

/9 social workers, mental health clinicians, etc.) at the right time, and in the right place when needed.
2. A home care transfer fund focused on finally expanding the scope and scale of home care services, including tele-home care to rural and remote communities.

So, before the federal government issues
