Williamson, Chairman' of the County Social Services Committee, told the meeting that `during the month of ,August there had been a number of, welfare recipients who had refused work and had been cut off from all income. "This," Mr. 'Williams said, "I think is, good for the County.", The report indiCated that. during the summer months the Social Services caseload had remained fairly stable and the number of inquiries was somewhat, low or than last year. As of August 1 there were 90 cases in 1975 but only M. in 1976. Inquiries in 1975 number 57 in June and 74 in July for a total of 131 while in 1976 there were 56 inquiries in June and 60 in July for 116. Persons receiving assistance in Juhe of 1975 numbered 268 and in July 232 while in 1976 there were 240 in June and 239 in July. It was admitted that the- case load in August of 1976 had risen slightly however. Normally, this is not the case, but unemploy- ment was named as one possible cause. Companies, like Dominion Road Machinery Company, who close down for four to five weeks were seen as one of the reasons. Unemployment Insurance Commission rules stipulate a two week waiting period, County Council learned, and then count two weeks worth "of vacation pay so it is five weeks before such a plant employee receives a UIC .cheque. The . County Social Services must fill in during this time. UIC does deduct money from those cheques 'and return it-lo County Social Services in the cases of those who have received assistance.

Instead, he said the government of Ontario would continue "a carrot" method, the provision of incentives, to get . doctors into those locations. The ,assistant deputy minister said there was no doubt the province would have to try to. encourage doctors to go to more remote or rural areas but that it should be done through encouragement and not through legislation. According to Dr. Bill Vail,, vice president of the OMA, much of the doctors concern about this issue stemmed from recent government reports such as the Henderson report handed down last year.
