Re: Potential Transfers to Ontario Health
As part of our ongoing commitment to keep you informed of organizational transformation efforts, provided here is an update on the discussions underway with the Ministry of Health regarding the intent to transfer Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) non-patient care functions and Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) into Ontario Health.
As you may remember, the Ministry of Health previously announced the intention to transfer LHIN non-patient care functions into Ontario Health for April 1, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the transfer was paused to maintain health system stability and to ensure our resources were focused on addressing the pandemic and on protecting the health and well-being of Ontarians. We are now resuming this work and while we do not yet have firm dates, we will be doing some preliminary planning for this to potentially move forward April 1, 2021.
