Mr. Aaron Mullaniff:

They are extremely important. The ECLO role is quite distinct from the community resource worker role. ECLOs are embedded within the acute environment as part of this integration. The community resource workers are based in communities where they are best positioned to provide the right support at the right time and in the right place. To be clear, there has been no turnover from an eye clinic liaison perspective. Our intention is to grow the ECLO services as part of this initiative to seven of the major acute eye-clinic settings across the country.
