The Ontario government is changing the delivery of health care services through Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and the Local Health System Integration Act, 2006. The legislation places significant decision-making power at the community level and focuses the local health system on the community's needs. The LHINs will facilitate the effective and efficient integration of health care services and make it easier for people to get the best care in the most appropriate setting, when they need it. With this legislation, the management of local health services has been devolved to the LHINs. In fulfilling their mandates, the LHINs have taken on local health system planning and community engagement. As of April 1, 2007, they have also assumed responsibility for funding a wide range of health service providers, and for managing the majority of service agreements with health service providers. The government continues to provide stewardship of Ontario's health system, setting direction, strategic policy, and system standards and delivering provincial programs and services. The Ministry is currently developing the regulations and operational policy needed to support the implementation process.
