Ontario’s hospitals operate in one of the most demanding health care accountability systems in all of Canada. Virtually every aspect of hospitals’ performance is regularly subject to external, independent scrutiny. In fact, hospitals have initiated or played a key role in shaping most of their stringent accountability measures.
The Broader Public Sector Accountability Act (BPSAA) outlines new rules, introduced in 2010, to enhance quality, transparency and accountability for hospitals, including the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital, and other broader public sector organizations.
The BPSAA requires hospitals to provide attestations of their compliance with the legislation.

The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Bill S-211) mandates that Ontario hospitals, as public sector entities, submit annual reports detailing their efforts to prevent and reduce the risk of forced and child labour in their supply chains. These reports must be submitted to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness by May 31 each year, outlining steps taken during the previous fiscal year to address these issues.
