The Manitoba department outlines a broad income security package, boosting work incentives and allowances for social assistance recipients, students, single mothers, and the elderly. Nursing home costs will shift to the Manitoba Hospital Services plan after July 1 1973 with a daily $4.50 patient share. The program covers medical needs through health services and offers special aid for families and dependents, including pregnant girls and guardians of other people's children.
