The Regional Programme of Access to Services in the English Language

Québec's Health and Social Services Act requires all health institutions to provide their services in French. 

However, because some people are more comfortable expressing their needs in English and wish to receive services in that language, the Act contains provisions making a range of health and social services available in English. 

As a result, each health and social service agency must develop a programme of access to services in the English language specifying the obligations of institutions to make services available in English, in accordance with their human, material and financial resources and the relevant legislation (Sections 1, 4 and 29.1 of the Charter of the French Language). 

In Montréal, 49 institutions are covered by this programme and must offer some or all of their services in English.
