A message from the sector executive of OPSEU Sector 17, Community Health Care Professionals.
The bill includes a provision to delist the LHINs from the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act. It also contains an amendment to the Pay Equity Act that would delist the LHINs so that pay equity will continue as it did in the CCACs. Because LHINs are Crown agencies, under the Public Service Act, workers will be expected to sign an ethics and conflict of interest package when they become employees of the LHINs. This package applies to all OPSEU members who work for the Government of Ontario.
The restructuring is an attempt by the government to improve patient care by making the LHINs the single point of accountability for home care. The ministry says the move will provide better integration of services and save the health care system money – money that could then be directed into home and community care..
A legislative committee will begin public hearings on Bill 210 this fall. The legislation could be passed by next spring.

A message from the sector executive of OPSEU Sector 17, Community Health Care Professionals.
If passed, the Patients First Act would eventually eliminate the CCACs entirely and their 6,000 employees would be absorbed by the LHINs.
OPSEU has been meeting with MOHLTC representatives to ensure our members are not negatively affected by the transition.
We have worked with other unions to maintain our successor rights as well as our existing collective agreements and labour relations framework. This ensures that jobs, wages, seniority and benefits will remain intact as members go from working for the CCACs to working for the LHINs.

A message from the sector executive of OPSEU Sector 17, Community Health Care Professionals.
We are getting a better picture of how OPSEU members working in Community Care Access Centres will be affected by new legislation introduced by Ontario’s Minister of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC).
On June 2, 2016 Eric Hoskins tabled Bill 210, the Patients First Act, 2016, in the Ontario legislature.
The legislation provides a framework for dismantling the province’s 14 Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) and transferring their responsibilities to the 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs). Under the current system, the CCACs manage the delivery of home and community care, while the LHINs do the overall planning and financing of health care.
If passed, the Patients First Act would eventually eliminate the CCACs entirely and their 6,000 employees would be absorbed by the LHINs.
