M-366 — October 16, 2013 — Ms. Duncan (Etobicoke North) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should recognize that: (a) dementia is not a normal part of aging; (b) due to aging population demographics, dementia is an increasing concern in terms of health care and health economics and is, therefore, a critical public health priority and that the time to act is now; (c) the World Health Organization and Alzheimer's Disease International report, “Dementia: A Public Health Priority,” and the Alzheimer Society of Canada’s report, “Rising Tide: The Impact of Dementia on Canadian Society,” are wake-up calls compelling us to plan for the impact of dementia on our citizenry’s well-being and on the viability of our nation’s health-care system; (d) dementia will affect 1.1 million Canadians in less than 25 years, that the economic costs are expected to increase tenfold to $153 billion a year, and that if given appropriate support, many people can and should be enabled to prolong their engagement and contributions within society and have a good quality of life; (e) dementia is overwhelming for caregivers and that we have a moral responsibility as a nation to provide adequate financial, healthcare, legal and social support to all Canadian families facing this burden; (f) while five of the G7 countries have a nation-wide dementia plan or have committed to creating a societal dementia plan, Canada is lagging behind; and (g) there is a need to plan for the impact of dementia by (i) promoting a dementia-friendly society, (ii) making dementia a national public health and social care priority, (iii) improving public and professional attitudes to, and understanding of, dementia, (iv) replicating some of the evidence-based approaches and solutions already adopted by countries to tackle dementia, and particularly, (v) prioritizing research, (vi) raising awareness about prevention, (vii) promoting early diagnosis and management, (viii) strengthening workforce training and capacity, (ix) implementing responsive care and health service delivery, especially for caregivers.

M-367 — October 16, 2013 — Ms. Duncan (Etobicoke North) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should, as part of a dementia plan, recognize that: (a) hospitalization occurs at least three times more often for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease than for age-matched older adults without the disease, with the clinical outcomes of hospitalization being worse for patients with Alzheimer’s disease; (b) dementia is the primary cause of long-term care institutionalization among elderly Canadians; (c) persons with dementia are currently being cared for in locations (e.g., emergency departments, hospitals, and long-term care) that can be prohibitively expensive; (d) dementia is a significant expense in terms of healthcare costs and healthcare resources, and that these will increase given the rapidly increasing numbers of persons with dementia; (e) patients with dementia spend a far longer time in fully dependent care situations than patients who die of virtually any other cause, exacerbating the health economics crisis of dementia; (f) the Canadian Institute for Health Information report, “ALC in Canada,” and the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences report, “Health System Use by Frail Ontario Seniors,” demonstrate that the hospital Alternate Level of Care (ALC) crisis cannot be solved without a community-based dementia strategy, designed to keep persons with dementia safely at home for as long as possible; (g) a community-based dementia strategy would decrease emergency department overcrowding, would reduce hospitalizations, would decrease ALC rates and would delay long-term bed placement, thereby freeing-up hospital beds, decreasing hospital overcrowding, improving wait times, decreasing the number of new nursing homes that will need to be built, and saving money; (h) persons with dementia respond poorly when shifted among various specialists and hospital stays for their overlying disorders, rather than when handled in a single and integrated familiar situation; (i) moving care from acute care and long-term care to the community could enable many people suffering from dementia to have an improved quality of life and continue to engage and contribute within society; and (j) recognize that moving care from acute care and long-term care aligns with the recommendations of the Ontario Drummond report and the Walker ALC report.
