Accountability

Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) are required by the Local Health System Integration Act, 2006 to engage Ontarians in the health care discussion. Accountability and transparency are the keys to communities knowing what they are getting and helping to define local health care priorities.

The LHINs strive to ensure that health care dollars are spent efficiently and effectively, yielding the best results possible. Accountability agreements between health care providers and LHINs, and between LHINs and government, ensure the responsible use of precious health care resources, and the sustainability of the health care system for generations to come. The agreement between the LHINs and the Ministry is called the Ministry LHIN Accountability Agreement (MLAA) and it came into effect on April 1, 2007. The agreement lasts for three years and has an annual refresh process built into so it can be modified to reflect changes necessary to ensure appropriate system governance. The changes for the 2008-2009 year of the agreement are in the revised MLAA posted below.
