Disorganized elder care in Quebec contributed to COVID 19 death toll: report

Castonguay released preliminary report on state of health and social services
network for seniors

Quebec’s health and welfare commissioner says the disorganized and poorly
evaluated health system for seniors contributed to the high COVID-19 death
toll in the province.

Joanne Castonguay released her preliminary report today on the
state of the health and social services network for seniors on the eve of
he pandemic.

As of today, 11,289 PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN QUEBEC of COVID-19, many of them
REIDENTS IN LONG TERM CARE HOMES and other facilities for seniors.

She says that as a result of the lack of proper evaluations, it was
difficult to hold health-care providers accountable for their conduct during
the pandemic.

Castonguay’s final report is due at the end of December.
