Professor Sullivan said an average annual budget of DHCs ranges from $150,000 to $200,000. Both Dempsey, former board chairman of Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich, gave an overview of what is now taking place in Huron. The county engineer said while trying to put together his presentation, he discovered he couldn't find no one expert on everything. Several of those at the meeting, including doctors and Bill Elston, chairman of Huron's board of health, expressed concern for the bureaucracy found in DHCs across the province. BUSINESS DIRECTORY PAGE i6. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1985. Health Council idea doesn't find a welcome in Huron A district health council (DHC) is not wanted in Huron even if there may be a desire for a better co-ordination of health services. This message came across loud and clear at a public meeting sponsored by the Huron County community services council on October 23 in Clinton. This council, made up of representatives from 35 social, health and education agen- cies, formed a health planning committee to look at the idea of planning for future health care. There were about 80 in attend- ance at the meeting. About half were directly involved in health care, either doctors or nurses or in related fields. The remaining half was equally divided between users of the health care system and elected officials in Huron County. "There's no one who knows it all. Maybe that's the one big flaw," said Mr. Dempsey. Mr. Dempsey admitted he knows more about institutional health care such as hospitals and • nursing homes as opposed to community health programs like the Victoria Order of Nurses and the health unit's home care. There are two groups now working voluntarily in institutional care. The hospital administrators in Huron and Perth have a working group and there is also a hospital liaison committee for the two counties. The latter committee is made up ofboard chairmen and the five county representatives on Huron hospital boards. These two groups have worked on various specific needs in the area. Dr. Susan Tamblyn, medical officer of health for Perth County, said various committees have been set up across the two counties to work on an ad hoc basis. One in particular, has dealt specifically with mental health services. She noted there has been no funding for these committees and the volunteer members are often the same people. Dr. Jim Hollingsworth is defin- itely opposed to DHCs. The Goderich doctor had some ques- tions for the committee which asked the basic question, what is wrong with the present system? Dr. Harry Cieslar, medical officerof health for Huron County, said he doesn't want anyone to think he is an advocate of DHCs. However, he is in favor of health care planning. The health planning committee said its secretary, Paul Carroll of Seaforth, will now consider both the oral comments made and the results of a questionnaire. The questionnaire was filled out at the end of the meeting by those present. The questionnaire came under fire when it was suggested by Dr. Don Neil of Goderich it be sent to the "community at large." He said many doctors were at conferences or on duty and couldn't attend the meeting. Mr. Carroll said the meeting would be covered by media present and those wishing to make further comment could do so. The school board superinten- dent expects the committee will have a report prepared for the community services council by the end of November. There were two guest speakers at the meeting. Professor Brian Sullivan, a management consult- ant in student services at the University of Guelph and former executive director of a DHC, spoke on the provincial scene. Saying he wasn't at the meeting to evangelize DHCs, the professor
