1. Collection of data for the Allied Health Database

The allied health regulatory Colleges will be expanding their collection of personal information about their members, including basic demographic, geographic, education and employment information, and providing this information to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in anonymized form, for health human resources planning.

2. Authority for the collection of data for the Allied Health Database

Under section 36.1 of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA), the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (Ministry) can request that regulatory colleges collect information, including personal information, from their members, and that this information be provided to the Ministry . The RHPA provisions authorize the Ministry to collect this information from the Colleges, and use and disclose it, only for the purpose of health human resources planning, which means ensuring the sufficiency and appropriate distribution of health providers.

If you have any questions about the collection, you may contact the Ministry's Allied Health Database Project Lead at forecasting@healthforceontario.ca or the CMLTO.
