AFHTO has just received a copy of a review by OMA legal counsel of the FHT Funding Agreement – Physician Sponsored template. This is posted on the OMA’s members-only website or click here to view. Some comments in the review apply to the Mixed Governance and Community Sponsored templates as well, and so this is being forwarded as a service to all FHT leaders. The assessment of risk and liability issues may be the most pertinent for other models. AFHTO’s ED has followed up with the Ministry regarding the “employee” and the “governance” issues outlined in the March 28 e-mail below. The fact that these are issues for a large number of FHTs has been acknowledged, as has the need for a collective approach to finding workable solutions in the best interest of all. Thank you to the 62 FHTs who responded to the survey – the results were instrumental in getting the Ministry’s attention. Please remember to e-mail a copy of your response letter to the Ministry to angie.heydon@afhto.ca , and thank you the FHTs who have done so already. These are very valuable to have for reference in our follow-up with the Ministry on the Funding Agreement.
