1. The purpose of this Act is to put in place an effective health and social services system, particularly by facilitating access to safe, quality health services and social services, enhancing coordination of the different components of the system and bringing communities closer to decisions related to the organization and provision of services.

To that end, the Act establishes Santé Québec and entrusts it with, among other things, offering health services and social services through public institutions, and regulating and coordinating the activities of private institutions and of certain providers of services in the field of health and social services.

The Act also establishes rules relating to the organization and governance of institutions that enable proximity management and management by territory that are based on a populational approach, and that foster enhanced flow of services.
