The Department will evaluate the implementation of charging reform in Trailblazer authorities. The evaluation will identify lessons learned for the Department, local authorities and providers in preparing for implementing this reform. It will also identify opportunities for improving the implementation process. We intend to publish the findings from this evaluation.
