Based on the many conversations Amanda has had with Nova Scotians and after listening to their policy suggestions, Amanda Mombourquette is pleased to announce the second pillar of her leadership campaign. It’s Time for Resilience: A Shared Vision for Healthy & Resilient Communities is a plan with important commitments to address the critical issues facing our province.
“Resilient communities offer their members a solid base on which to build their lives and raise their families. We can help people be more resilient through reliable healthcare, physical and cultural recreation to stimulate physical and mental health, and assurance of safe and secure homes and public spaces,” said Amanda during her policy announcement.
The plan focuses on three main components: reliable healthcare, citizen wellness, and safe communities. This includes important commitments such as addressing emergency room closures, developing a plan for community-based collaborative clinics, and a focus on women’s health. There are also plans to develop measures to ensure safe, secure, and affordable housing for every Nova Scotian, a commitment to create a Nova Scotia Food Strategy, prioritize climate adaptation and emergency preparedness, and a pledge to extend reliable cell phone and/or internet service to every part of the province.
Using an evidence-based approach, and taking into account the social determinants of health, this plan offers a path forward for our province that would be possible if Amanda is elected as Leader of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.
“The current government has spent hundreds of millions on our healthcare system. The result is some improvement, but still a long way from their promise to “fix” healthcare. We need a consistent, informed approach to managing our investment in healthcare in a way that incorporates advances in practice and technology and also accommodates the unique needs of communities across the province. Investment that results in direct improvements to health outcomes is the kind of accountability Nova Scotians deserve.”
