Results Analysis - 2010-11 Annual Report

Performance Measure 6.a -- Satisfaction with supports and decision-making services provided by the Office of the Public Guardian.

In 2009-10, the most recent year for which data are available, the Ministry once again surveyed private guardians who had applied for or renewed their guardianship order within the last 12 months. Ninety-eight per cent of private guardians expressed satisfaction with the OPG in 2010, an increase over 2007-08 results among this group. Survey results also indicate that 94 per cent of service providers were satisfied with the services provided by the OPG. This is a modest increase over an already high level of satisfaction (93 per cent) measured in 2007-08.
