In September 2005, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care established the Provincial PD Coordinating Committee to make recommendations to increase the use of PD among prevalent dialysis patients in Ontario from the present 18% to 30% by 2010. In the present paper, we describe the process through which the Committee produced its recommendations and we highlight the proposed implementation plan.

KEY WORDS: PD decline; PD utilization; PD in Ontario.
