76. Each public institution must, in the centres it specifies, develop a program of access to English-language health services and social services for the English-speaking population it serves or, if applicable, develop such a program jointly with other public institutions in the centres it specifies that are operated by those institutions.

The program must identify the English-language services that are available in the specified facilities. It must also set out the language requirements for the recruitment or assignment of the personnel needed to provide such services.

A public institution may, with the consent of a private institution under agreement, specify in its access program any services that may be provided to its users by the private institution under an agreement.

The program must take into account the institution’s human, physical and financial resources; it must also be approved by the Government and revised at least once every five years.
