The moves are part of a major health system shakeup announced by the province earlier this month. At the time, provincial health officials said it could take several years for the LHINs to be dissolved, because they oversee home care.

Last week, the Order-in-Council appointments of chairs and members of all of the 14 LHIN boards across the province were revoked with just one day’s notice.

LHINs and six agencies, including Cancer Care Ontario and the Trillium Gift of Life Network, have all been absorbed by the health super agency.

Front-line health care will be delivered by between 30 and 50 health teams across the province. There are no details yet about how exactly the teams’ makeup or how they will work.

With the health transformation still in the very early stages, and enabling legislation not yet passed, the province moved surprisingly quickly to axe LHIN governing boards.

At the Champlain LHIN, which covers Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, 10 remaining board members, including board chair Jean-Pierre Boisclair had their appointments revoked.

LHIN administrative and executive staff, meanwhile, are still on the job. In the Champlain LHIN region, staff oversee a home care system that serves 20,000 patients on any given day.

Premier Doug Ford warned this week that executive-level jobs will soon be gone as a result of the merger of 20 provincial health agencies. Throughout his election campaign Ford had promised that no one would lose their job as a result of “efficiencies”. This week, he changed his position to say front-line workers would not lose their jobs — although some autism behavioural therapists are being laid off. Some executives, he said, would lose their jobs.
