Fight hi Take a walk: punty councli wan is GPH open Huron County Council has endorsed a resolution calling for the resignation of Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller, and his top advisory staff if they do not reconsider their decision to close the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital. Council endorsed the resolution from the medical staff of Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderith .that said the ministerial decision to close GPH was 'without consultation of local h ealth professionals . and endangered • total psychiatric health care in the county. The resolution called the government action a threat to the people's rights to adequate health care. The medical staff of AM andG ntacW three 'recommendations that called for a reversal on the closure decision; a withdrawal of plans for closure of , general hospital beds in Huron County, and the the Minister and his staff commit themselves to decision by consultation with representatives at local levels. Failing action on these recommendations, the- Minister and his institutional advisors were requested to resign immediately. Some councillors argued that the final paragraph of the resolution was a bit drastic and should be deleted or altered. Health Committee chairman,Ed, Oddleifson of Bayfield, argued that the government used shock tactics against the people and it was only fair 'that they use shock tactics against the government.

Dr. Mills told the councillors that it would be difficult to get patients admitted for psyChiatric care from a distance considering that GFH reaches every corner of the County. He added that general hospitals in Huron County would- likely' come under close scrutiny by the government and it was his understanding that 97 beds in county hospitals would be cut. Work began in December on a new $300,000 wing for Alexandra. Marine and General H ospital in Goderich and Dr. Mills expressed concern for the life of the new wing and explained that people 'Would have to ,deal with many possibilities and changes in health care. '`Unless we take a strong stand now we will ,suffer and thesystem will deteriorate," he said, "Our health is most important and we need the facility and we need. Mental health care." Dr. Mills said only the provincial government is concerned about the health-care costs.' lie. explained the government wants n. $50 million reduction in health Care Costs this year and $150 million next year.
