responsibility and effectiveness in guiding the planning and implementation
of effective local systems. |
| Monitor on-going programs and reform efforts to evaluate: |
| The effectiveness of current efforts in meeting the goals of long term
care reform; |
| The adequacy of protections afforded consumers within the reformed
system; |

The Department and Council will also rely on advice from existing Councils
that represent the needs and perspectives of people with disabilities and others
knowledgeable about serving them effectively. The Council will consult with the
Council on Mental Health concerning the best way to incorporate mental health
system redesign and county-administered mental health services into the long
term care reform. The Council will also consult with the Council for
Children with Long Term Support Needs regarding coordination of reform efforts
affecting both adults and children.
