COMMITTEE MOTION 70-17(5): HSSAs’ COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION, STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES, CARRIED

I move that the health and social services authorities comply with the Child and Family Services Act and the Child and Family Services Standards and Procedures Manual in their delivery of services to children and families; – Madam Chair, we are just getting the motion handed out because there was a typo, so we are just handing out the motion – and further, that health and social services authorities ensure the key requirements are met when:

investigating concerns about child safety and well-being;

providing protective services for children to address and confirm child protection needs;

providing service to children under the care of the director of child and family services; and

performing screening and monitoring of foster care homes.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. To the motion. Mr. Yakeleya.

The motion certainly speaks to the procedures manual and the delivery of services to children and their families and key requirements that should be met as per the Auditor General in this part of their findings. I certainly would support that.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. To the motion. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We agree with recommendation 27 and all the actions that are being designed, including the action plan designed to support this.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. To the motion.
