Health /Social Services group could start soon Meetings could begin in the next month or so of a new Health/Social Services Liason Committee for the county. Dr. Maarten Bokhout, Medical Officer of Health told Huron County Council Thursday night that terms of reference for the committee have been a year and a half of meetings between all the agencies involved. The role of the committee is to engage in an ongoing process of county-wide health/social services need and/or service gap indentification; assist in finding providers interested in meeting the needs; and to provide a liason between all the services and consumers. The group is to meet at least four times a year with at least one public meeting. The group is proposed to be made up of 18 members from county government, the Health Unit, hospitals, social services, doctors and others. Hullett Township Reeve Tom Cunningham asked Dr. Bokhout what would happen to the group if a District Health Council (DHC) was instituted for the county. Dr. Bokhout said that if there was a feeling that a DHC was needed in the county the committee would likely disband or work with the DHC. He said he wanted council to know that he was not for or against a DHC but was person­ ally committed to seeing a discus­ sion on health councils take place. Even if a decision to start a DHC was made, he said, it would be at least two years before it could get started and there is lots of work for the liason committee to take on in the meantime. He said the Ministry of Health has indicated that it does not like the type of committee Huron has set up. The aim of the Board of Health’s policy is to let this committee go ahead while also discussing the possibility of a DHC, he said.
