Data
The Appendix contains service manager-level information that is not contained in the body of this
report.
To compensate for incomplete data from the Kenora District Services Board and the Parry Sound
District Services Board, Vink Consulting adjusted their figures from last year’s Report for new
applicants, housed applicants, and cancelled applications based on each category’s overall change
provincially from 2014 to 2015.
To compensate for the absence of data from the City of Ottawa and the County of Oxford, Vink
Consulting adjusted their figures from last year’s Report for eligible applicants, new applicants,
housed applicants, and cancelled applications based on each category’s overall change provincially
from 2014 to 2015.
Average chronological wait times for the City of Ottawa and the Parry Sound District Services
Board were held constant from last year’s Report. Vink Consulting was unable to estimate average
wait times for Kenora District Services Board or the County of Oxford.
This year, service managers were also asked by ONPHA staff to verify their data submissions
in March 2016. The purpose of this process was to ensure that no mistakes were made in data
collection, as well as to capture any revisions that service managers had made to their data sets after
initial submission.
