We are and we demand!
List of demands

The organizations and groups signing below present the following demands in the framework of the 2018-2019 campaign We are and we demand! We request that our demands be implemented in the health and social services.

1) General Principles

The health and social services must be universal, accessible, free and given uniformly in all the regions of the Quebec province and received without delays;

The social services, which include the programs regarding disability, must be supported adequately (for example by preserving the budgets of the rehabilitation centers) and must not be relegated on the second plan to the profit of curative care and hospital-centrism;

The funding of the programs and services must be based on the true needs of the persons with disabilities and their families in a perspective of autonomy;

The principle of equitable compensation of the costs relative to disabilities must be applied in all the policies regarding persons with disabilities and their families;

An adequate and uniform information regarding all the programs and services to which persons with disabilities have a right to must be accessible, available and distributed in all circumstances;

Continuing training on handicap and the multiple disabilities must be given to the integrity of professionals of the health and social services;

The principles of universal accessibility must be applied and respected in the integrity of the Health and Social Services Network on an architectural level, for the medical equipment and for the communications;

The information of the possible pleas and the access to the complaints’ procedures must include adaptive measures for persons with disabilities and their families;

In a perspective of constant improvement, mechanisms of evaluation of the needs and the quality of services must be implemented;

The service provision must be based on prevention and in an approach of continuity of providing care instead of an intervention based on episodes of services;

In a perspective of inclusion and social participation, shadowing services must be supported financially by the Health and Social Services Network;

In a perspective of prevention and solidarity, the natural caregivers must be recognized more easily and be better supported financially by the State;

Service provision by the public Network must be maintained and not transferred to the private sector which involves a price scale of the services, nor should it be given for cheaper by the community sector.

List of demands

We demand the end of compressions and a major reinvestment in the health and social services, in the objective of ending waiting lists, answering the needs of all individuals with an intellectual deficiency, on the autism spectrum disorder or with a physical disability and their families on the same level in all the regions of Quebec:

A. Rehabilitation:

Adequate rehabilitation services and adequate support;
A better clinical training of the workers;

Complete evaluation of the needs of each user including the global needs, with social participation as the main objective;
Increase of the control of quality of services and the guidance support from the Network of the services given by community and private resources;
