Responsibility for the planning, delivery and monitoring of health services (including mental health services) is primarily the responsibility of the provincial and territorial governments, not the Public Health Agency of Canada. To communicate concerns or questions about mental health service delivery, hospitalization and related issues, please contact your provincial or territorial ministry of health (or equivalent), listed in your telephone directory.
