Co-operative Health Services Ltd. was liquidated by the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations Department's superintendent of insurance. • On Feb. 6, the Ontario Supreme Court judge ordered the company into receiver7 ship after its licence to contract new business was suspended. Since the company went into receiver- ship. OFA officials have been negotiating with selected insurance companies to have the program underwritten again. Jack Haled OFA general manager, said the OFA program didn't bring about the Co-op Health 'Services failure, and added the 3,500 OFA particpants in the plan- make it desirable• business for other insurance 'companies. Merle Gunby, the Ashfield Township `farmer who serves on the OFA's insurance committee, said OFA is recommending that people who .have claims under the insurance plan up to and including Feb. 9. 1981, forward triem to Co-Op Health Services. The company's -address; is 6043 Yonge Street. Willowdale. This ensures these people have filed their claim with the receiver: Mr. GOnby said he'll be down to Toronto to an OFA board meeting later this week,' and expects the insurance situation will be discussed in detail then. He said 'there is a pretty good chance OFA will re-negotiate the health coverage plan with another insurance company. Mr. Hale; the OFA general manager, said members are urged to continue signing up for the plan. and in that way, strengthen the OFA's position during negotiations.
