Lanark County Council approved a recommendation from the Government Relations Working Group to submit requests for delegations with provincial ministries at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference this August.
The requests include:
• Ministry of Long-Term Care for additional stable funding and supports for complex care needs, specifically behavioural support staffing for long-term care homes or for specialized locations to increase available spaces.
• Ministry of the Solicitor General for increased funding to match provincial court security costs, which are increasing and must be paid by municipalities. Lanark County has taken over responsibility for these costs from the Town of Perth, where the court is located, but is asking that grants provided by the Solicitor General be funded to a cost-recovery basis.
• Ministry of Health for secondary triage at the Kingston Central Ambulance Communications Centre as paramedic calls continue to increase and hospital emergency rooms are at capacity. With low-acuity calls making up the majority of paramedic calls, secondary triage would allow for increased diversion from emergency rooms.
The county will learn whether its requests have been successful prior to the conference. ... See MoreSee Less
