Earlier today, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, launched the next phase of renewed consultations on public health and emergency health services with stakeholders through a webinar and the release of two discussion papers.

These consultations will provide critical insights into the needs of the public health and emergency health services sectors, municipalities and service providers. They will also provide an opportunity for direct input into the best way to deliver these programs and services to meet the evolving needs and priorities of Ontario’s families.

Jim Pine, recently appointed advisor to the Ministry of Health, will lead this next phase of consultations as he works with municipalities, the public health and emergency health services sectors, and other stakeholders to ensure that modernization is informed by their advice and the daily realities of their communities.

The discussion papers are posted on the ministry web page for feedback:

We hope to receive your input.
