What happened to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care once the LHINs took over the funding of services?
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is rising to a more strategic level, focusing more on providing overall direction and leadership for the province’s health care system. Essentially, the ministry’s future role will focus on providing stewardship. The ministry will be less involved when it comes to the actual delivery of health care and will instead provide overall direction and leadership for the system.
