said the health body would be
involved primarily in health care
planning. 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.

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
