We're meeting the first week of July in Charlottetown, and that's where the two groups, the health promotion committee and the assessment committee, are both reporting.
Our report came out, and by the time it was translated and got to Veterans Affairs for their work it was probably late summer. They have been working on it. They came back to us asking for assistance in terms of developing the implementation plans.
I think the needs-based one is moving ahead, and that's why the assessment committee has been investigating and making recommendations around the particular—I'm going to use the word—“instrument”, or the assessment tool that needs to be put in place in order to move us to needs-based. Our health promotion committee will be making its initial recommendations in July about where we should start in moving the health promotion side forward and redefining the roles of the care coordinator to expand them.
I can't give you a date when the changes will actually take place, but I've been at an awful lot of meetings this spring. We met with folks from Treasury Board as they began to work on the financial side of things. We're very hopeful that this is going to begin to be implemented maybe later this year, or certainly early next year at the latest.
Our council meets twice a year. This year we had an additional meeting because we were working on implementing Keeping the Promise.
