Federal Budget 2022 Recommendations Summary
Advocating for family medicine, the CFPC recommendations submission calls on the federal government to invest in primary care through its election pledge of $3.2 billion. Proper system infrastructure, appropriate remuneration, increased resources to support team-based models of care, and increased system capacity are urgently needed.
These are just a few examples of recent strides across Canada to move the healthcare system and in turn our health teams, family doctors, specialists, physician assistants, nurses, and patients forward into the future where the results need to change.
It is observed that there are a number of Canadian provinces that have taken active steps towards optimizing health care for the future. These include British Columbia and Ontario, who have both implemented new programs designed to modernize and improve efficiency within the healthcare system. By doing so, they hope to address some of the concerns that have been raised in recent years about the rising cost of healthcare and limited access to services. As more provinces take similar actions, it is likely that the overall quality of Canadian health care will continue to improve, making it one of the best systems in the world.
