Function:  It is proposed that LHINs would over a period of time integrate health care at a local level and consolidate the following functions: planning, systems integration and service coordination, funding allocation, and evaluation of performance through accountability agreements. The objectives of LHINS are: a) manage health system planning, coordination and funding at the local level; b) engage the community in local health system planning and setting of priorities, including establishing formal channels for citizen input and community consultation; c) improve the accessibility of health services to all people to move more easily through the health system by the greater integration of services; and d) bring economic efficiencies to delivery of health services, promoting service innovation, improving quality of care, and making the health care system more sustainable and accountable.

Meetings:  The board of directors of a local health integration network shall meet regularly throughout the year and in any event shall hold at least four meetings in each calendar year.
