New information has just become available from the Central East LHIN's Board meeting today, March 28.
The LHIN Board members have passed a supplementary motion, which is relevant to our Deficit Elimination Plan. Here is the wording of the Central East LHIN Board motion: "Be it resolved that the (CE LHIN) Board requires RVHS to work with the LHIN prior to the implementation of the planned consolidation of MHA (Mental Health and Addictions) services in conducting a 30 day consultation period with community stakeholders, and the general public.”
As a consequence of this, we will receive clarification from the LHIN during the next week. We will share that clarification with all of you – staff, physicians and volunteers – as soon as possible. I’m sorry we don’t have any greater detail on this yet. But I wanted to share this information with you now. We will continue to keep you informed in a timely fashion.
