| Board Decision | |
The Board of Health recommends to the Budget Committee that:
1. The 2013 Approved Operating Budget for Toronto Public Health be adjusted as follows:
a. a reduction of $1,342.5 thousand gross and $0.0 net for the Healthy Smiles Ontario Dental Program to reflect confirmed provincial funding; and b. a reduction of $53.8 thousand gross and $13.4 thousand net for the Children In Need of Treatment (CINOT) expansion dental program to reflect confirmed provincial funding. |
|
| Origin |
| (September 16, 2013) Report from the Medical Officer of Health |
| Summary |
This report seeks approval to amend the 2013 Approved Operating Budget for Toronto Public Health (TPH) as a result of 2013 funding confirmation received from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) for the 100% provincially funded Healthy Smiles Ontario (HSO) and the 75% provincially funded Children In Need Of Treatment (CINOT) Expansion Dental Programs. |
| Financial Impact |
The 2013 Approved Operating Budget for TPH includes $8,965.5 thousand gross and $13.5 thousand net for the HSO and CINOT programs. The MOHLTC has confirmed funding of $7,569.2 thousand gross and $304.7 net for HSO and CINOT programs, resulting in a funding shortfall of $1,396.3 thousand gross and $13.5 thousand net.
The 2013 funding shortfall of $1,342.5 thousand gross and $0.0 net for Healthy Smiles Ontario Dental Program is expected to have no service level impact as long as there is no significant increase in utilization of the HSO dental program.
The 2013 funding shortfall of $53.8 thousand gross and $13.5 thousand net for Children In Need Of Treatment Program is expected to have no service level impact.
The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information. |
