The P.E.I. Nurses' Union has expressed its support for the recent amendment to the Canada Health Act, which aims to enhance the role of nurse practitioners in the Island's healthcare system. This change is expected to improve healthcare services and increase access to medical care for residents. With nurse practitioners now able to contribute more, the Island's healthcare system is poised for significant benefits, including better health outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery. This development is a positive step forward for healthcare in Canada, particularly in the area of primary care and community health. The union believes this change will have a lasting impact on the healthcare system.
