  • Main Estimates Supplement 2021-2022 | Manitoba Health and Seniors Care
    Budget 2021 Main Estimates Supplement Budgets complémentaires 2021/22 MANITOBA HEALTH SANTÉ ET SOINS AND SENIORS CARE AUX PERSONNES ÂGÉES MANITOBA MAIN ESTIMATES BUDGET SUPPLEMENT COMPLÉMENTAIRE 2021-2022 2021-2022 Department of Ministère de la Health and Seniors Care Santé et des Soins aux personnes âgées Minister’s Message and Executive Summary This document has been produced by Manitoba Health and Seniors Care as a supplement to the Printed Estimates of Expenditure. It is intended to provide background information on the department and complements the information already contained in the Printed Estimates of Expenditure. The contents of this document are organized into five parts. The first part provides an overview of the ministry including its strategy roadmap, strategic priorities, objectives and initiatives. The second part provides financial information on staffing and expenditures. The third part provides information on the amount of money the department requires, the spending and allocation plan, and how expenses will flow throughout the fiscal year. The fourth part provides a risk analysis overview. The fifth part provides the statutory responsibilities of the minister and a standard glossary of terms. Recently implemented across the Manitoba government, balanced scorecards foster operational improvements by reinforcing transparency, urgency, alignment and accountability. They have been added to the redesigned Supplement to identify key priorities for each department that staff will work towards, with appropriate performance measures. With the Supplement redesigned to be a business plan that focuses on strategic priorities, departments can then take steps to create operating plans that further identify how strategic priorities will translate into day-to-day operations.

  • Controversy Surrounding the Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging
    Controversy Surrounding The Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging LEAH ROSS My wife and I get sick when the pesticide trucks come around every year. We don’t need to hear when our area is being fogged—we can feel it in our legs, a dull ache that tells us the poison truck has come. We have tried to get our house taken off the list, and the city has duly recorded our name and address, but it has no effect. The guys on the truck just spray everything, including people’s vegetable gardens. Once my wife saw them spray our house and ran outside to tell them we were supposed to be missed. The guy on the truck noticed her, turned around… and sprayed her with the fog…. Another night we saw them playing with the neighbour’s dog, who likes chasing water hoses and figured, somewhere in his tiny dog brain, that he was playing the same game. He cheerfully chased the spray around his dog pad, his muzzle dripping with malathion. The truck had stopped so that the sprayer could play this game for a minute or two. We never bothered to complain, figuring that if they weren’t going to respect our wish to be bypassed, they weren’t going to investigate our complaint. It’s our word against theirs.1 I. INTRODUCTION innipeg is known as the mosquito capital of Canada and “in the summer of 2001,West Nile Virus was recognized as an W emerging public health threat”.2 As a result, provincial and civic officials pumped millions of dollars into fighting the bugs by helicopter and on foot.

  • Manitoba EIA Health Benefits Summary
    Manitoba EIA Health Benefits Summary The Manitoba EIA program is a “program of last resort” for about 62,000 Manitoban’s who do not have any other financial support or income. Many of these individuals have disabilities and high health care needs. The program has a living allowance, rental allowance called Rent Assist, as well as disability benefit for those that qualify. All EIA recipients all qualify for health care coverage and benefits. This chart is a summary of those health benefits as well as commentary on the gaps between these benefits and the true costs for health care. This chart was created recognizing poverty as a determinant of health with the knowledge that the EIA program incomes are far below all poverty measures of income to meet basic needs. The poverty and limited health coverage for people relying on EIA contributes to health in equities and adds costs to government in other areas. “Injustice will not be destroyed until those who are not affected by it are as outraged as though who are” – Unknown “While explaining our project, the recipient started to laugh. In response to the project description he said, “I apologize, I am just jaded to being optimistic for positive change in this system”. The reason being, people just do not care about poor people - not politicians, not middle class” – EIA Recipient Benefit Coverage Comment Recommendations Personal Experience Health Services Yes 3 month waiting period for Disabled & Single Parents A health manager recommends that EIA policy “I do not think it is appropriate to make people wait so long for their Program: 6 months for General Assistance (GA) for Dental and should allow third party referrals for people who needs” - EIA Recipient Waiting periods Optical coverage cannot apply on their own.
