THE CALL FOR A NATIONAL STRATEGY | Bill C-277
The Standing Committee on Health in the House of Commons will soon be reviewing Bill C-277, an act to establish a national strategy on brain injuries. The bill aims to improve the health of people living with brain injury by:
- Making sure all provinces and territories work together in the same way.
- Reducing differences in healthcare quality.
- Making it easier to get care and collecting standard data on how common brain injuries are and impact over the lifespan, so that policies and resources can be better directed to where they are needed most.
- Ensuring the Minister of Health is responsible for reporting on the details of the legislation every year.
