Function:  The Citizens' Council is an advisory body to the Executive Officer of the Ontario Public Drug Programs and the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.

The Council will be tasked with discussing specific topics/questions related to aspects of the province's prescription drug programs. Following these discussions, the Council will guide the development of a report summarizing their views on the specific question or topic at hand. The report will be submitted to the Executive Officer of the Ontario Public Drug Programs and the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. Both the report and the Executive Officer's response will be available on the ministry's website at www.ontariocitizenscouncil.ca.

Membership:  The Council consists of 25 members plus a Chair, appointed by the Minister, by ministerial appointment letter. Members are representatives of the public from all parts of the community, of all different ages and backgrounds.

Term:  No limitation in legislation.

Meetings:  The Council will meet formally twice a year and prepare a report of meeting deliberations. Reports will be made publicly available on the Ministry's website.
