Ministry Goals, Objectives, Strategies, Performance Measures and
Targets
Since publication of the 2002/03 – 2004/05 Service Plan,
the ministry has made significant progress towards transitioning
to new governance models with provincial and regional authorities
to deliver more integrated, community-driven services. As a reflection
of both this progress and ongoing changes that will continue for
the duration of the transition, some of the goals and objectives
listed in this section differ from those presented in the previous
plan. However, the goals, objectives and strategies presented in
this section remain consistent with the foundations they evolved
from — the ministry's strategic shifts and principles published
in the previous plan.
Performance measures related to the Service Plan are evolving as
the ministry's needs and resources change. As such, the measures
will continue to be refined over time, to optimally reflect the
ministry's and government's priorities and to take advantage of
all new performance information as it becomes available. Also, some
of the measures, baselines and targets have been updated since the
2002/03 – 2004/05 Service Plan. These changes are noted where
they occur in this section.
As part of ongoing efforts to focus the ministry's performance
planning and reporting, some measures that appeared in the 2002/03
– 2004/05 Service Plan do not appear in this plan. The measures
were removed from this plan to reduce the number of performance
measures to a few critical ones related to the ministry's key service
areas. Please note that the measures excluded from this year's Service
Plan continue to be important indicators that the ministry continues
to track, monitor and report through other plans and mechanisms.
With the transition to provincial and regional authorities under
community-based governance, performance measures will continue to
evolve and be revised, in consultation with these authorities.
In the months and years ahead, in each business area, high priority
will be placed on developing a budget management strategy to achieve
ministry targets while ensuring effective service delivery to vulnerable
children, their families, and adults with developmental disabilities.
