Dear Minister Elliott,

The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) was disappointed to learn that the province of Ontario was reviewing the evidence on supervised injection services (SIS) and overdose prevention services (OPS) to "see if they have merit and are worth continuing."  Will the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) be doing the same thing with intensive care units and emergency services to see if they offer value? Like care provided in hospitals, SIS and OPS are evidence-based health services that save lives every day.

Dear Dalton and Anne,

The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) was pleased to respond to the CNO's survey on fee increases on June 1, 2018. To reiterate the feedback that we submitted online, RNAO recommends the following:

Dear Minister Jaczek,

As you know, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) has been fiercely advocating for transformative changes to Ontario's social assistance system for at least a decade. Ontario's registered nurses (RNs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and nursing students see every day the devastating health and social impacts of income insecurity, including those caused by dangerously low social assistance rates and an often punitive, hard-to-navigate system.

Dear Mr. Corcoran,

Thank you for your letter of December 1, 2017 inviting the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) to provide feedback on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) by December 12, 2017.
Due to the short timeframe related to this submission, RNAO is unable to provide a comprehensive response informed by evidence from the academic literature and our expert members working in a variety of sectors.
