Appeals Overview

This Assisted Living and Social Services (ALSS) dataset describes quarterly statistics regarding the Citizen's Appeals Panel. The panel provides an appeal process for those who do not agree with decisions made by the Ministry of Assisted Living and Social Services and the Ministry of Children and Family Services, Ministry of Jobs, Economy and Trade, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction.

 

The service offers impartial, neutral, and unbiased hearings for appeals and renders decisions, within the discretion allowed under relevant legislation that has been vested in adjudication panels, an appeal process that ensures all parties involved have equal opportunity to present their case, hear all evidence presented, assess all written information presented or referenced, and question the validity of any or all of the information presented, and a written decision providing the findings of the hearing.

 

The Appeals Overview dataset includes quarterly information on appeals filed, appeals withdrawn, and decisions rendered for each of ALSS's four core legislated programs, Income Support, Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH), Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) and Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD).

 

Note that all values less than 5 have been suppressed for privacy purposes, and that data for PDD and FSCD appeals are presented annually, to prevent having to suppress data with small sample sizes at the quarterly level.
