Huron County Council last Monday voted to send a letter of protest to the Ontario government about redistribution of provincial ridings in this area. A government commission is now preparing a redistribution scheme that would change Huron-Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt's riding, to include parts of Wellington, Perth and Grey counties. Huron MPP Jack Riddell's riding would be changed to include part of Perth County. Council decided that Mr. Gau nes workload would be increased too much if he had to represent people from five different eounties. Council's letter • Will recommend that his riding be expanded to include only Brant `Township and Walkerton which are in Bruce County: in support of Perth County which does not want part of its area included With Huron; cOuncil. Huron County Council last Monday rejected the report of the Health Planning Task Force of Ontario, called the Mustard Report, which recommends sweeping changes in health care services. A report from the county board of health stated that the Mustard report recommendations if implemented, would bring loss of local autonomy and confusion of existing health care services. The Mustard report proposes creation of about 35 district health councils to direct public health policies in the province. Huron County would be included in a district with Perth, Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin Counties which would have a population of about 550,000. The health board noted that other proposed districts would have smaller populations. Grey and Bruce has 114,000, Larnbton- Kent has 206,000, and Dufferin- Wellington has 136,000. The district which would include Huron County was termed "impractical." "If the district, as proposed, is implemented, Huron will barely be recognized," the board of health stated. It recommended that the district be altered to assure the county adequate representation on a 15-member district health council appointed by the provincial health ministry. County council learned that the board of health and hospital boards would-have little authority if the proposed district councils are created. Doctors would be unable to practise in an area without the consent of its district council, the board of health stated. Before county council accepted the board of health's report, thus rejecting the Mustard Report, Dr. Robert Walker, the Ontario health ministry coordinator for southwestern Ontario, answered questions, from council members and the public. Clerk-Treasurer John Berry asked him to justify the size of the district that would include Huron County. The proposed districts have not been created yet and the province wants to get constructive criticism about them, Dr. Walker said. Earlier, he said that districts had to be big enough to contain complete services. Josephine Berry, president of the Alexandra Marine and decided to recommend that Mr. Riddell's riding be changed to include the northern part of Middlesex County which is now in the federal riding of Huron- Middlesex. Mr. Riddell and. Mr. Gaunt, who attended the council meeting, agreed with the recommendations. General Hospital Women's Auxiliary said the Mustard Report proposes to take hospitals away from communities. They won Id no longer be "our hospitals", she said, resulting in a lack of volunteer workers, Volunteers give county hospitals about $20,000 in equipment and many hours of their time annually, she said. Mos hospitals now receive almost 100 per cent of their funds from the province, Dr.Walker said. Volunteers should not feel that district health councils would take their hospitals away, he said. Chief county public health inspector -Jim McCaul said that district councils would disband county health units, the only preventative health agencies. The Mustard Report has been criticized for being sickness- oriented instead of preventive- oriented. Dr. Walker said that health unit personnel would become part of a total health care system recommended in the report. Goderich Deputy Reeve Stan Profit asked what advantages district health councils would have over existing systems. If health councils are created, they would prevent duplication of services and co-ordinate different areas of health care, Dr. Walker said. Executive director of the Wingham and District Hospital Norman Hayes asked why more district health councils are proposed when the four in operation have not been appraised yet. The councils in operation take four different approaches to h ealth care, but more approaches should be examined, Dr. Walker said. ' Council heard critical presentations from several persons who head bodies which would be affected by Mustard Report proposals. Reeve of Bayfield and member of the county board of health Ed Oddleifson, said he attended a meeting in Ottawa recently of representatives from county health boards in Ontario. The 'representatives concluded, Mr. Oddleifson said, that district health, councils would increase costs, discourage volunteer help, cause increased bureaucracy and be sickness rather than health- oriented. Representatives also criticized the researchers of the report for not gathering information from people already working in health care services. Dr. J. K. McGregor", of Wingham, president of the Huron County Medical Society, said the report contained po criticism of present systems. District health councils would be rigid and inflexible in decision making, he said. Dr. McGregor added his voice to those claiming that a large unnecessary • bureaudracy would be created. Dr. Susan Tamblyn, medical officer of health for the Perth DiFtrict Health Unit, said public health needs more emphasis on improving lifestyles and physical fitness. The Mustard report does not consider these improvements in its proposals, she said. The proposals threaten autonomy, make health care costlier and do nothing to improve health, Dr. Tamblyn said. Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron, said the county would be lost in the district proposed by the Mustard report. Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron- Bruce , agreed.with Mr. Riddell when he said that the county "would be completely smothered" , when policy decisions were made. Experience has shown that regionalization proposed in the report would increase costs, he said. He warned of a ."bureaucratic dictatorship" the councils would create. lf people don't agree with policies made by their district councils, they can't remove council members in elections because the members are appointed, Mr. Gaunt said. Dr. Frank Mills, medical officer of health for Huron County, said at the beginning of the meeting that the implications of Mustard Report proposals on county residents were "just beyond belief."
