The South Bruce Grey Health Centre and its area partners, including the Hanover and District Hospital, Grey Bruce Health Services, and the South West Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), have received one-time funding of up to $50,000 for an expert consultant to develop restorative care service options in Grey and Bruce counties through a collaborative process.
The announcement was made Wednesday in a press release from the health centre.
The special funding was received Aug. 18 from the South West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), and is in addition to the funding that the health centre received to extend the services of the Restorative Care Unit in Chesley for an additional six months.
The intent of the consultant funding is to ensure that the four health care organizations have the necessary and appropriate resources available to work together and develop at least four service options by Sept. 30.
The job of the consultant will be to assist the organizations in developing a range of meaningful options for restorative care services now provided at the Chesley site. Through a competitive process, Deloitte was selected as the consultant to lead this review and, as required by the South West LHIN, to develop the four options.
Since August, Deloitte has been working with the stakeholder organizations on understanding the needs for restorative care in Bruce and Grey counties and on generating sustainable options for the stakeholders and South West LHIN to consider.
The health care partners expect to meet the deadline and have four options to forward to the South West LHIN for consideration for a future state model of sustainable restorative care services in Bruce and Grey counties.
