Service Accountability Agreements
Ontario's Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) are required under the Local Health Services Integration Act, 2006, to negotiate a Service Accountability Agreement (SAA) for each Health Service Provider (HSP) they fund. The LHIN works with providers from all sectors every year to produce SAAs.
Toronto Central LHIN 2019/20 Accountability Planning Submissions Timelines*: Community, Hospital and Long-Term Care (CAPS, HAPS and LAPS)
*NB:
- In an effort to streamline and improve ease of planning and reporting, we have integrated timelines for all Toronto Central LHIN SAAs.
- Your organization may need to adjust these dates for internal planning purposes and your Board meeting schedule. We will accept any reasonable adjustments. The planning dates below should be considered “last possible” dates for submissions as submissions will be considered earlier.
- Please note these dates may vary from agreements with other LHINs and that they are the planned dates currently and may be adjusted over the course of the fall/winter.
