More changes are coming to health care in Winnipeg, the latest aimed at reducing the number of people who go straight from hospital to care homes.


 

But the NDP and union leaders say they're worried the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority's new Priority Home program is another step toward privatization.

The service is meant to provide transitional home care to clients who might otherwise end up in long-term care.

The health authority also says much of the work is being contracted out to two private companies, due to the program's roll-out timeline.
