The Regional Round Tables bring their recommendations and solutions to the CCS’ Board for approval and input. They are also responsible for contributing to the development of the provincial network, by coordinating efforts for the province-wide needs profile, by sharing success stories and resources and so on.
Management Round Tables
The CCS has created two Management Round Tables:
- the Health Management Round Table; and
- the Social Services Management Round Table.
These two Round Tables are essential to ensuring the proper functioning of the CCS. They bring together French language health care and social service providers, engage in meaningful dialogue on health and social service operational issues, and establish and maintain strategic and operational links between the various stakeholders. The role of each Management Roundtable includes the following components:
- Engaging in meaningful dialogue on operational issues relating to French-language health and social services;
- Informing, supporting and advising the Executive Director of the CCS regarding these issues, especially those relating to health and social services providers;
- Provide a strategic and operational link between the CCS and health and social services organizations and government agencies;
- Review the French language service plans prepared by designated health and social services organizations and recommend their adoption to the Board of Directors of the CCS;
- Establish working groups composed of people who can contribute to the priority issues identified by the Roundtable; and
- Make strategic or operational recommendations to the Executive Director of the CCS.
