WINNIPEG – The Manitoba NDP say they will create 1,000 more beds in personal care homes for seniors if the party is re-elected.
Leader Greg Selinger says the party would also fund a new research chair in palliative care and create new hospice beds.
He says the NDP would improve home care by extending respite hours and boosting after-hours services.
Selinger says voting for the Progressive Conservatives would mean privatization and layoffs for front-line workers.
The Tories say the NDP has had plenty of time to create more personal care home beds and there are more than 1,200 people waiting.
