Are LHINs an expensive and additional level of bureaucracy? Shouldn we spend more energy on increasing the numbers of doctors and nurses?
LHINs are an important vehicle that will be responsible for creating a true health care system at the local level. One that can assess the health needs of the community and resource these needs better – including providing advice about the numbers of doctors and nurses. LHINs are intended to change the fragmented approach to health service delivery and create an integrated and coordinated local health care system. LHINs are expected to reduce duplication, not increase it.
