Mrs. Boyd moved,

Mme Boyd propose,

Second Reading of Bill 50, An Act to promote patients' rights and to increase accountability in Ontario's health care system.

Deuxième lecture du projet de loi 50, Loi visant à promouvoir les droits des patients et à accroître l'obligation de rendre des comptes dans le système de soins de santé de l'Ontario.

A debate arising, at 11:00 a.m., further proceedings were reserved until 12:00 noon.

À 11 h, la suite du débat est réservée jusqu'à midi.

Mr. Wood (London South) then moved,

Ensuite, M. Wood (London-Sud) propose,

That, in the opinion of this House, since Hospice Palliative Care is care which aims to relieve suffering and improve the quality of life of people who are living with or dying from advanced illness, or those who are bereaved, the Government of Ontario should appoint a Task Force, representative of the Public, recognized Hospice Palliative Care Experts, Palliative Care Supporters and Providers, both Paid and Volunteer, from throughout Ontario, to recommend the elements necessary to fully implement an effective Hospice Palliative Care "Bill of Rights". These Rights would ensure the best possible comfort, protection and support will be available and accessible to all Ontarians and their families in time of need. The Task Force would provide interim reports to the government and the public, and continue in existence to review the implementation of its recommendations.

This Task Force should consider but not be limited to the following issues:

1.

The provision of Hospice Palliative Care, that recognizes the need of all people for personal respect, control and dignity. A modern fully developed Hospice Palliative Care system enables most people to live in their own homes;

2.

The effective provision of the best medical treatments for pain control and the best symptom management practices for other physical suffering, using drug, and non-drug therapies;

3.

Ensuring the development of proper medical treatments for all patients of all backgrounds, social, cultural, or religious and of any age or illness. The special problems of children and of individuals suffering illnesses of the nervous system, who face much shorter life expectancies, should be considered. Cancer Care Ontario's phased-in Supportive Care Model should be examined for potential applications to the development of Hospice Palliative Care;

4.

The Interdisciplinary Team Care of Hospice Palliative Care must be adapted to work with Primary Care Providers. Standards for Hospice Home Care, Dedicated Hospices, Nursing Homes, Supportive Housing and Hospitals, should be integrated with a compensation structure for Hospice Palliative Care that recognizes its interdisciplinary character;

5.

Medical Specialties in Hospice Palliative Care should be recognized in all medical fields. The need to provide a high standard of basic and specialized Instruction in Palliative Care, Pain Management, Symptom Control, Emotional and Spiritual needs and Team Methods in every Profession. An effective Information System must update our Medical Teams with the very latest developments in Hospice Palliative Care, Pain Control and Symptom Management;

6.

Research programs to explore new knowledge, in the areas of greatest value to Canadians receiving Hospice Palliative Care, should be a continuing feature of Ontario's Medical Care System;

7.

The best possible programs to support, train and encourage Volunteer Care Providers and their organizations should be identified and made an integral part of the Hospice Palliative Care System. Volunteers providing Hospice Palliative Care are the ultimate guarantee of Community involvement, as well as Comfort and Concern for the needs of individual people and their families and their Bereavement. Existing Programs, Standards, Organizations and Proposals ready for pilot-projects or expansion should be encouraged. Programs that are individual and innovative, in their own way, can co-operate providing Patient-Centred Care for Ontarians;

8.

Revising, as required, medical, administrative and legal procedures to ensure effective safeguards for the rights of all those under care, but especially those who cannot, or can no longer, decide issues of medical care for themselves;

9.

How to meet the needs of most Ontarians, in these Care Programs, by finding the very best methods to gain the full confidence, and participation in Patient Care, of Leaders from all Religious, Cultural and Spiritual Communities;

10.

The need for emotional, psychological, social and spiritual support appropriate to the needs of the patient and their family. The right to be treated as a person, and receive proper medical, emotional and spiritual treatment for times of depression and suffering. The need for family members to be consulted, treated with respect and kept informed;

11.

Setting reasonable limits on charges for Care, to a patient's life savings, so loved ones need not be left destitute;

12.

Most Care in Ontario is provided by spouses or family, to loved ones. A priority must be to consult with these Care Providers to find ways to encourage and support them, as they meet family responsibilities, with love and loyalty.

The question having been put on the motion for Second Reading of Bill 50, An Act to promote patients' rights and to increase accountability in Ontario's health care system, it was declared carried and the Bill was accordingly read the second time and Ordered referred to Committee of the Whole House.

La motion portant deuxième lecture du projet de loi 50, Loi visant à promouvoir les droits des patients et à accroître l'obligation de rendre des comptes dans le système de soins de santé de l'Ontario, mise aux voix, est déclarée adoptée et le projet de loi est en conséquence lu une deuxième fois et déféré au Comité plénier.

The question having been put on Mr. Wood's (London South) Resolution Number 20, it was declared carried.

La motion, mise aux voix, sur la résolution numéro 20 de M. Wood (London-Sud) est déclarée adoptée.
