As part of Ontario’s Accessibility Action Plan, the Government of Ontario has committed to identifying and addressing accessibility barriers in the health care sector through the creation of a potential new accessibility standard for health care under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA). The development of an accessibility standard for health care is about addressing barriers to accessibility that persons with disabilities may experience when receiving health care services. The Accessibility Directorate of Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care are holding pre-consultations with stakeholders to identify accessibility gaps and barriers specific to the health care sector.
They would like your organization to be part of this process and to provide input on how the government’s work can continue on achieving accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities in the health care sector.
To input by Aug. 31, complete a short, confidential survey in English or French.
The survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on the detail of the answers provided. Questions with asterisks indicate questions that require an answer. Please answer only those questions which relate to your experience and perspective (as an accessibility champion, healthcare provider, etc.) Responses will remain confidential as per the Government of Ontario’s Privacy Policy.
If you have any difficulty completing the survey, please contact Margaret Hageman at margaret.hageman@ontario.ca or 416-326-1289.
