| In general our activity consists of letters, meetings, and media advocacy. We are monitoring government funding of comprehensive care for stroke and heart disease. This period, we will be requesting a meeting with the Health Minister to discuss improving heart failure care in rural Nova Scotia. We will continue to work with the Department of Education on CPR/AED training in schools. We will also correspond through a letter to the Minister of Labour on job protected leave for those with critical illnesses. We are also writing letters to the Department of Health, Education, and Environment on raising the age of tobacco purchase to 21 and to implement and federal advocate for comprehensive policies to reduce the availability and accessibility of purchase for nicotine pouches. |
