The purpose of the Annual Business Plan is to outline how we will continue to implement our Integrated Health Service Plan (IHSP). It is designed to meet the reporting requirements outlined in the MLAA and feeds into the Ministry’s results-based planning and budget processes.

WWLHIN Annual Reports
The Local Health System Integration Act requires LHINs to prepare an Annual Report to the Minister who tables them in the Ontario Legislature.
Sometimes the review process before the annual reports can be tabled takes a little longer than expected. Various branches (such as finance, legal and the LHIN Liaison Branch) within the ministry are responsible for reviewing all 14 LHIN Annual Reports.
The 2008 – 2009 Annual Reports, along with the 2009 - 2010 Annual Reports, were tabled in the Ontario Legislature on August 25, 2010.
We are pleased to share the WWLHIN Annual Reports of 2008 – 2009 and 2009 - 2010 with our communities.
