Consultations
We Want to Hear from You!
We are inviting feedback on a proposed
regulation amendment and a preliminary
policy consultation. We welcome feedback
from all stakeholders, including members
of the medical profession, the public,
health system organizations and other
health professionals.
Proposed Regulation Change:
College Oversight of Fertility
Services
Preliminary Consultation:
Physicians and Health
Emergencies
The College is proposing an amendment to sections
of Ontario Regulation 114/94 which concerns the
College’s Out-of-Hospital Premises Inspection
Program. The amendment will provide the College
with authority to enter and inspect premises where
fertility services are performed, regardless of
whether anesthesia or sedation is used.
The College is currently reviewing the Physicians and
Health Emergencies policy, in accordance with our
regular policy review cycle. The current policy was
developed after the 2003 SARS epidemic and during
the 2009 H1N1 pandemic to reaffirm the profession’s
commitment to the public and colleagues in times of
health emergencies.
This proposed regulation amendment was prompted
by a request from the provincial government that
the College implement a quality and inspections
framework for the delivery of fertility services across
the province. The College believes that bringing
facilities that offer fertility services, regardless of
anesthesia or sedation, under the College’s Program
is an important step in ensuring patient safety is
protected.
We are reviewing the policy to determine how the
policy can be improved in order to ensure it reflects
current practice issues, embodies the values and
duties of medical professionalism, and is consistent
with the College’s mandate to protect the public.
