Protection for Persons in Care

The Protection for Persons in Care Act is an extra safeguard built into Manitoba's health care system. This law is to help protect adults from abuse while receiving care in personal care homes, hospitals or any other designated health facility. The Act requires that a service provider or other person who has a reasonable basis to believe that a patient is, or is likely to be, abused shall promptly report the belief, and the information to this office.
