Policy Implications
Policy Implications
- Need to monitor trends at all levels of geography (i.e. not
only in cities of 100,000+); the caseload continues to grow
in many communities, the family /household types are
changing, and there are more complex cases of mental
illness, etc.
- Multiple Ministries are funding multiple service organizations
and programs – this lends itself to a convoluted, fragmented
service sector.
- Social assistance is a complex file but nevertheless, we need
to pay attention to the unmet needs throughout the
province.
- Given current resource allocation, which marginal costs will
produce the greatest social benefits?
- Standardization vs. Specialization…..?
