The MOHLTC is receiving a high volume of questions related to the Act and Regulation. The early promise for a two-week turnaround with answers is now unlikely to be met. OANHSS has been pressing for a response to all questions to the extent answers can be provided. The MOHLTC has indicated it will not be able to answer questions that require an interpretation.

At our request the provider associations will be given a briefing with senior levels of government this week to clarify our understanding of some provisions and answer questions.

Regarding cook qualifications, we have succeeded in getting confirmation that the Ministry will be fixing this requirement so that no existing staff will lose their jobs. Details on the new approach are not yet available. The Ministry assures us that new qualification requirements were intended for new hires only, and that any oversights in the Regulation will be addressed.

Members should continue to send your questions to ltch@ontario.ca

The Ontario Long Term Care Action Group (OLTCAG) of Dietitians of Canada believes that the mandated hours for Food Service Workers in Ontario's Long Term Care (LTC) Homes must be increased in order to effectively provide high quality, safe, nutritious food to Residents living in these Homes.  Dietitians of Canada (DC) is the professional association representing Registered Dietitians (RDs) across the country, with over 2800 members in Ontario.  The Ontario Long Term Care Action Group is composed of RDs with expertise and experience in Long Term Care (LTC) homes and the provision of nutritional care to the residents of these homes.

Resident preferences are important to consider when developing menus. High quality, palatable food that is culturally appropriate is necessary for providing person‐centred care in long term care homes. Very little information is available on the menu planning process and any barriers or challenges to planning high quality menus. This exploratory study was completed in 2009 to describe the menu planning process in these homes in Ontario, as well as to understand what factors could be changed to improve the process, moving Ontario towards more resident‐centred menus for its diverse population.
