Goal 3: A community-based service delivery system that is
effectively supported and monitored.
- Core Business Area:
- Executive and Support Services.
- Rationale:
- We believe that adults with developmental disabilities, children,
youth and their families are best supported in the context of
a community-based service delivery system. The ministry remains
committed to alternative governance approaches that will bring
decisions making regarding services closer to the communities
using those services, to better meet their needs. The ministry
will build partnerships with interim authorities, communities,
and service providers to ensure there is a smooth transition to
community governance. We recognize, however, that the demand for
services is increasing, while fiscal realities limit the budget
available for these important services. We therefore see our goal
as creating a system that is sustainable, but also accountable
to those who require the services and to the broader public who
fund those services.
- Objective 3.1:
- Implement regional and provincial governance approaches that
include appropriate accountability mechanisms.
