Accountability

The LHINs have built a strong foundation of transparency, performance and accountability as these are fundamental expectations of what Ontarians want from their health care system.  The LHINs strive to ensure that health care dollars are spent efficiently and effectively, yielding the best results possible. 

The LHINs operate within an accountability framework that is comprised of the Local Health System Integration Act, 2006 or LHSIA, the Memorandum of Understanding or MOU, and the Ministry-LHIN Performance Agreement or MLPA. The performance agreement includes our goals and objectives, standards, targets and measures, and a plan for spending the money LHINs receive.

Memorandum of Understanding

Memorandum of Understanding (Nov 2012) 

Ministry-LHIN Performance Agreement (formerly called MLAA)

This Performance Agreement (“Agreement”) reflects the evolution of LHINs, the ongoing transformation of Ontario’s health system and the importance of accountability between the MOHLTC and LHINs. It replaces the MOHLTC-LHIN Accountability Agreement (“MLAA”) effective April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2010, which reflected the relationship of both parties at that time and included process and operational detail.

The agreement sets out obligations on the part of both the Ministry and LHINs in fulfilling our mandate to plan, integrate, and fund local health care services.
