** Regional Health Authorities Responsibilities **
The Burntwood Regional Health Authority (BRHA) is responsible for the operation and administration of facility and community based health programs and services at a regional level within the Burntwood Region of Manitoba. The BRHA is responsible within the context of broad provincial policy direction, for assessing and prioritizing those services and programs based on evidence based needs and developing and managing an integrated approach to health care delivery. The Regional Health Authorities Act legislation came into force on April 1, 1997. It sets out the conditions under which the RHA's are incorporated, as well as defining duties and responsibilities of the Regional Health Authorities, for ensuring effective health planning and delivery.
