Children's Treatment Centre (CTC) Implementation Task Force

BACKGROUND

In March 1999, the Health Services Restructuring Commission (HSRC) provided the following
advice to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care regarding children's services:

• Direct the Northern Shores District Health Council to undertake a needs assessment on the
  current problems of access, lack of coordination and level of services required to address
  children's service needs in mental health and rehabilitation in North Bay and District by June
  30, 1999 and provide a report both to the HSRC and the Ministry of Health.
  
  
• Consider developing a children's treatment centre or an appropriate other organization by
  consolidating existing services into one organization to better serve residents of North Bay
  and District.

To this end, the Northern Shores District Health Council (NSDHC) established a Children's
Rehabilitation Services Planning Committee which developed a document entitled, "A System
Design Plan for the Integration of Children's Rehabilitation Services", May 2000.
