Psychiatric Hospitals
The hospitals commonly referred to as "Provincial Psychiatric Hospitals" are owned by the Province and operated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care pursuant to the Mental Hospitals Act. They are funded solely by, and report directly to, the ministry. Public hospitals are incorporated under corporations legislation or by an Act of the Legislature. They receive funding from the ministry, but have other funding sources such as charitable foundations. Public hospitals must comply with the Public Hospitals Act and regulations under that Act. The provincial psychiatric hospitals are designated psychiatric facilities under the Mental Health Act and comply with that Act when providing specialized mental health services. However, many public hospitals are also designated psychiatric facilities under the Mental Health Act and provide a range of in-patient and out-patient mental health services, in addition to the medical, surgical and other services provided at general hospitals.
