Accountability
Disclosure of Expenses
The Mississauga Halton LHIN is committed to being open and transparent with its stakeholders and the general public. Further to the LHIN's commitment is our compliance with the Public Sector Expenses Review Act, 2009. This Act was implemented on November 30, 2009 and was created to strengthen and reinforce accountability, transparency and oversight of government expense claims. As per direction received from the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, the LHIN has created this page which details the expense reports of Board Members and Senior Staff as they engage with our stakeholders in managing the local health care system.
All expenses are in accordance with the government’s Travel, Meal & Hospitality Expenses Directives.
