Accountability

We are committed to being accountable to the people we serve. This means we are committed to informing you about our plans to deliver services that meet community needs, and we will report on the services and resources we provide to meet those needs.

Plans

The Island Health Annual Plan sets direction for service delivery.

Performance & Reports

We measure, monitor and report on our performance using Performance Measures.

Our Financial Reports provide information on the resources we use to meet targets and deliver health services.

Accountability
