Nature of Requirements

The following is a summary of the statement of work for this requirement.

The Correctional Service of Canada is looking for psychiatrists to deliver psychiatric services to the population of the Regional Mental Health Centre.

Objectives

CSC Health Services must provide offenders with efficient and effective health services that encourage individual responsibility, promote healthy reintegration and contribute to safe communities. Psychiatric care falls under these objectives, while meeting our obligations to deliver essential mental health care and reasonable access to non-essential services.

Deliverables
