LHIN Plan Released in November

The Northwest Health Integration Network will be releasing its three year Integrated Health Services Plan for the region by the end of November.

The LHIN has been working on the plan for the past three years.

Spokesperson Kristin Shields says the plan is based on public input.

"We heard from just over 800 people during January to March," says Shields, "then we heard about 50 others in the following month. We've been told a thousand people is a great sample for a national health care survey, so 800 from a smaller population in northwestern Ontario is great."

Shields says once the plan is submitted to the Ministry of Health, it will also be posted online.
