Description: The aim of the Drug Treatment Funding Program (DTFP) will be to provide the incentive (seed funding) for provinces, territories and key stakeholders to initiate projects that will lay the foundation for systemic change leading to sustainable improvement in the quality and organization of substance abuse treatment systems. At the same time that provincial and territorial governments are working to achieve these system-level efficiencies, five-year time limited funding (new funds) will be available for the delivery of treatment services to meet the critical illicit drug treatment needs of at-risk youth in high needs areas.

Expected Results: DTFP plans to increase availability of and access to effective treatment services and programs for at-risk youth in areas of need. The Program's success and progress will be measured by the type/nature of treatment services and supports that have been made available by end of FY and will be measured by the program/service utilization trends associated with their populations and areas of need.

DTFP will also seek to improve treatment systems, programs and services to address illicit drug dependency of affected Canadians. The Program's success and progress in this plan will be measured by the extent to which treatment system improvements have been made; perceptions of stakeholders; and, the extent to which uptake/integration of evidence-informed practices has occurred.

Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund (Voted)

Strategic Outcome: Canadians are informed of and protected from health risks associated with food products, substances and environments, and are informed of the benefits of healthy eating.

Program Activity: Substance use and abuse

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund (Voted)

Start Date: April, 2004

End Date: ongoing

Description: The Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund will contribute to reducing drug use among Canadians, particularly among vulnerable populations such as youth, by focusing on health promotion and prevention approaches to address drug abuse before it happens. The objectives of the Fund are to facilitate the development of local, provincial, territorial, national and community-based solutions to drug use among youth and to promote public awareness of illicit drug use among youth. The Program is delivered through Health Canada's regional and national offices and the Northern region.

Expected Results: DSCIF plans to enhance the capacity of targeted populations to make informed decisions about illicit drug use. The program's success and progress will be measured by the level/nature of acquired or improved knowledge/skills to avoid illicit drug use within the targeted population, and will be measured by evidence that capacity changes are influencing decision-making and behaviours around illicit drug use and associated consequences in targeted populations.
DSCIF also plans to strengthen community responses to illicit drug issues in targeted areas, and will measure their progress based on the type/nature of ways that community responses have been strengthened in targeted areas. For example, the adoption/integration evidence-informed/best practices within the targeted areas will indicate the program's contribution to this outcome.

Program Activity: Official Language Minority Community Development

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Official Languages Health Contribution Program (Voted)

Start Date: April 2009

End Date: March 2013

Description: Builds on initiatives established under the previous Contribution Program to Improve Access to Health Services for Official Language Minority Communities (2003-2004 to 2008-2009). The Program is managed by the Official Language Community Development Bureau.

The Program was approved for a five year period (2008-2009 to 2012-2013) with a total budget of $174.3 million, to support three mutually reinforcing components: 1) Health Networking ($22M); 2) Training and Retention of Health Professionals ($114.5M); and 3) Official Language Minority Community Health Projects ($33.5M); and to strengthen Health Canada's capacity to administer the Program ($4.3M).

The Health Networking component aims to: (i) maintain and enhance official language minority community health networks in line with provincial/territorial priorities; (ii) develop strategies to increase and improve OLMC health services; and (iii) provide leadership and coordination of activities that span all three components of the Official Languages Health Contribution Program.

The Training and Retention component is designed to: (i) provide post-secondary training of francophone health professionals in official language minority communities located outside Quebec to respond to the health care provider needs of those communities; (ii) promote the recruitment of qualified students into francophone post-secondary health training programs and their re-integration into official language minority communities upon graduation; (iii) provide training and retention initiatives in Quebec to ensure that health professionals have opportunities to improve their ability to work in both official languages, and to practice where they can meet the needs of official language minority communities; (iv) in communities outside Quebec, provide cultural and French-language training to bilingual health professionals to improve their ability to provide health services to Francophone minority language communities; and (v) promote research and information-sharing on approaches to reducing barriers to health care access for official language minority communities.

The Official Language Minority Community Health Projects component of the Program provides short and medium term support for projects in six activity areas in response to community and provincial, territorial, or regional health priorities: (i) strategies to develop, retain and mobilize health human resources within French official language minority communities; (ii) development of sustained health information products and tools to facilitate access to health services within networks; (iii) provision of improved front-line health service expertise in the minority official language; (iv) support to regional and local health and social service agencies and community organizations in implementing new programs and best practices for access to health services in the minority official language; (v) development of volunteer health and social support services for official language minority communities within local networks, institutions and health

7. Expected results: The two main objectives of the Program are to improve access to health services in the minority official language and to increase the use of both official languages in the provision of health services. To achieve these objectives the Program has identified five expected outcomes:

1. increased number of health professionals to provide health services in official language minority communities;
2. increased coordination and integration of health services for official language minority communities within institutions and communities;
3. increased partnership/interaction of networks in provincial and territorial health systems;
4. increased awareness among stakeholders that networks are a focal point for addressing the health concerns of official language minority communities; and
5. increased dissemination and adoption of knowledge, strategies or best practices to address the health concerns of official language minority communities.

Grant to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI)

Strategic Outcome: A Health System Responsive to the Needs of Canadians

Program Activity: Canadian Health System

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Grant to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) (Voted)

Start date: April 1, 2007

End date: March 31, 2012

Description: CIHI is an independent, not-for-profit organization supported by federal, provincial and territorial (F/P/T) governments that provides essential data and analysis on Canada's health system and the health of Canadians. CIHI was created in 1991 by the F/P/T Ministers of Health to address significant gaps in health information. CIHI's data and its reports inform health policies, support the effective delivery of health services and raise awareness among Canadians about the factors that contribute to good health.

From 1999 to 2007, the federal government provided approximately $313 million to CIHI through a series of grants, known as the Roadmap Initiative. This allowed CIHI to provide quality, timely health information. More recently CIHI's funding has been consolidated through the Health Information Initiative.

Beginning in 2007-08, the Health Information Initiative provides conditional grant funding to CIHI. This funding allows CIHI to continue important work initiated under the Roadmap Initiative and to further enhance the coverage of health data systems to improve the information available to Canadians on their health care system, including information on wait times, and comparable health indicators. The funding also enables CIHI to respond effectively to emerging priorities. Under this initiative, up to $406.49 million will be delivered to CIHI over five years (2007-08 to 2011-12).

Expected results: As per CIHI's funding agreement with Health Canada, CIHI's draft 2011-12 Operational Plan and Budget is to be provided to Health Canada by the end of January 2011. At the March 2011 CIHI Board Meeting, the document will be brought forward for review and approval and then subsequently submitted to the Minister of Health. In CIHI's 2009-2010 Annual Report they indicated that they will remain focused on their strategic priorities as follows:

More and Better Data

• Continue to develop and implement our Primary Health Care Information program;
• Work to address data gaps in the areas of Aboriginal health and community mental health;
• Increase the quality and comprehensiveness of our patient-specific cost data;
• Improve the timeliness of data collection and reporting across all data holdings; and
• Collaborate with jurisdictions and Canada Health Infoway to advance health system use of data and the pan-Canadian agenda related to the electronic health and medical records.

More Relevant and Actionable Analysis

• Implement methodologies and infrastructures to link data in a privacy-sensitive manner; and
• Continue to implement the Canadian Population Health Initiative Action Plan, with a particular focus on the themes of place and health and reducing gaps.

Understanding and Use of Our Data

• Expand the depth and breadth of our eReporting applications, including CIHI Portal;
• Launch our new and improved website;
• Share expertise and enhance overall responsiveness by implementing a more strategic approach to marketing products and developing a customer strategy and educational offerings;
• Develop new data sharing agreements, as appropriate;
• Enhance our data security and privacy programs by conducting privacy audits on select internal data holdings and external data recipients;
• Host national conferences and workshops to promote increased understanding and use of our data and information products; and
• Develop and deliver education products to support improvement and use of our products and services (such as data quality, national reporting system, indicators and data standards).
