RCP Priorities and Planning Committee Purpose: The Regional Cancer Program (RCP) Priorities & Planning Committee will provide strategic oversight and direction for the development and implementation of all cancer services, as defined through a Memorandum of Agreement (MFA), across HNHB LHIN. The membership is committed to the development of a strong and innovative RCP in the LHIN. Objectives: 1. To support the RCP RVP to lead cancer services planning within the LHIN as part of the province-wide cancer planning. 2. To identify strategies to meet regional needs for service, integration, co-ordination and quality improvement. 3. To facilitate patient and consumer involvement in planning and evaluating activities. 4. To implement provincial standards and report on the LHIN s performance relative to these standards. 5. To monitor and report on the LHINs programs and services. 6. To respond to performance results for the LHIN, which may require assessment and re-alignment of where and how services are provided.
