Service Accountability Agreement

Prior to providing funding for the provision of services to its local health system, the Local Health System Integration Act, 2006 requires that the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and the Health Service Provider (HSP) enter into a service accountability agreement. The service accountability agreement is a multi-year agreement that supports a collaborative relationship between the LHIN and the HSP to improve the health of Ontarians through better access to high quality health services, to coordinate health care in local health systems, and to manage the health system at the local level effectively and efficiently. In this context, the HSP and the LHIN agree that the provision of services to the local health system by the HSP will be funded as set out in the attached Agreement.

As per Article 8 of the service accountability agreement, HSPs are required to post a copy of the agreement on their websites.
