I'd like to talk to you about the risk-driven community safety program that the Province of Ontario is supporting. The model came from the city of Glasgow. There have also been experiments in Manitoba. The City of Toronto has really become engaged with this model, which encourages very regular, very intensive communication across multiple sectors, across service providers representing different sectors who are going to come in contact with the same vulnerable clients.
In the past, different sectors were working with the same clients but were not sharing information. They weren't talking about this vulnerable person and they weren't making the linkages this vulnerable person needed so that they wouldn't end up back in the hospital or in jail.
It looks expensive, because we have the teams come together on a weekly basis to talk about risk situations, but our data is showing that over the longer term these clients of integrated processes are worth the investment, not only because their individual situation is being reviewed from the multi-dimensional perspective but also because relationships are being forged across the various agencies that are working together so they know to get in touch in a proactive way when an individual is released from hospital into the community. The other sectors know about it. This is an innovation we strongly support.
