Administrative Review Information
Posted by gatewayacl on June 23, 2010
With regards to the recent announcements by Mary Anne Jablonski, Minister of Seniors & Community Supports, PDD Edmonton has released the following:
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES
You may have heard that the minister responsible for the Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) Program, Mary Anne Jablonski, has hired experts to look at how the money PDD gets from the government is being spent. Minister Jablonski has named this the PDD Administrative Review.
We want to let you know that this review will not look at the services people receive. The hours of support and the types of support people get right now will not change because of the review.
The Administrative Review will only look at how money is being spent – on things like how your PDD Community Board office can do its job with less money and how agencies can better use the money they get for things like supplies, rent and office staff.
Minister Jablonski has promised that any money that can be saved will only go towards helping more adults with developmental disabilities get support, something very important to us all.
The Administrative Review will be done over the summer. In the fall, Minister Jablonski will announce what changes will occur in PDD and how much extra money can be used for more supports for adults with developmental disabilities.
In the meantime, do not worry about changes to your supports. The Administrative Review will not result in less supports for adults with developmental disabilities.
If you have questions, please contact PDD Edmonton at (780) 427-2817.
