Mental health funding plan for Champlain LHIN

GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca

New funding rates to assist mental ser- vices in Eastern Ontario are on the table from the provincial government. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) will have more than $11 million, over a three-year period, of dedica- ted funding for mental health programs and services within the region.The Champlain LHIN oversees planning and funding for health services for the LHIN region, which includes the City of Ottawa, the Five Coun- ties area, and the neighbouring counties of Leeds, Grenville, and Renfrew. The Ontario Ministry of Health an- nounced a new base funding plan for mental health services in the Champlain LHIN as part of the next phase of its Com- prehensiveMental Health and Addictions Strategy (CMHAS). The Champlain LHIN will receive $11.1million of dedicated fun- ding out of the $138million theministry has earmarked for mental health and addiction services and programs support for all of Ontario, with themoney funnelled through the regional LHINs. The ministry is also creating a province-wide registry of mental health beds to improve the assignment of critical bed space for those in need of extended stays at either hospitals or other facilities, to deal with chronic addiction or mental health problems. These programs and services will also help address other spinoff problems related to mental illness or addiction. Examples of the new base funding levels for mental health and addiction services at facilities in the Champlain LHIN include : $2.3million each year for the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group for several programs; about $500,000 for Montfort Renaissance Inc., for its Maison Gilles Chagnon Sta- bilization Program which assists women withmental health and addiction problems who also experience long-term homeles- sness; $350,000 for Montfort Hospital and Montfort Renaissance Inc., for a substance addiction treatment program; $142,355 for Montfort Renaissance Inc.’s Hoarding Consultants’ initiative to help people with mental issues that results in hoarding behaviour; about $70,000 shared among Montfort Hospital, Cornwall Community Hospital, Pembroke Regional Hospital, Queensway CarletonHospital, the Ottawa Hospital, and the Distress Centre for Ottawa and the Region, to support and expand the Call-Back After Discharge Program, a bilingual service that aids people dischar- ged fromhospital after receiving treatment for mental health or addiction problems, to make sure they receive continuing care and support as needed. The first year of the new base levels for Champlain LHINmental health and addic- tion services dedicated funding totals about $4.5million for the 2015-2016 fiscal period.

L’unité d’intervention d’urgence et l’unité canine de la Police provinciale de l’Ontario ont assisté les patrouilleurs du détachement de Hawkesbury pour retracer un fuyard qui avait tenté de s’introduire dans un domicile de la rue Mary à Hawkesbury, en début d’après-midi, le 17 mars. L’homme a été repéré par des voisins qui ont aussitôt appelé la police. Le malfaiteur, un homme de race blanche dans la trentaine, a pris la fuite et un périmètre a été érigé pour tenter de le retracer. Des voitures de patrouilles ont été postées dans le carré formé des rues Aberdeen, Cameron, Lansdowne et Mary. Au moment d’aller sous presse, l’enquête se pour- suivait et le suspect courait toujours.
