Bill 132: Nancy Rose Act (Paediatric Hospice Palliative Care Strategy), 2026

This bill primarily affects healthcare organizations and hospice palliative care providers operating in Ontario — including children's hospitals, pediatric palliative care clinics, and nonprofit hospice facilities in cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Kingston, and London. Day-to-day work touched includes patient care delivery, care coordination for seriously ill children, and family support services like mental health counselling. Smaller community-based hospices and solo practitioners in palliative care may see changes in funding frameworks or referral pathways as the province works toward equitable access standards. Larger health organizations may face new reporting or program alignment requirements as the strategy is developed and amended over time.
