Accountability

The Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Local Health Integration Network, like all LHINs, is accountable not only to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, but also to its health service providers, and ultimately the people who live in the LHIN.  The following diagram outlines the core elements of the LHINs accountability relationships. 

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the LHINs, and the Service Providers are each responsible for developing and fulfilling clear and achievable performance obligations, and to identify any risks to performance.  All parties are expected to work collaboratively and cooperatively by establishing clear lines of communication and responsibility, and by working diligently to resolve issues in a proactive and timely manner. 

If you are interested in learning more about the roles and responsibilities of the LHINs, please read the Memorandum of Understanding and the Ministry-LHIN Accountability Agreement (MLAA) between the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the HNHB LHIN, and the signed 2009-10 Amendment Agreement.
