The inter- view is a procedural part of the role study recently commissioned by the board of governors to define the hospital's direction over the next ten years. At the February board meeting, Dr. Brian Hanlon, -the hospital's chief of medical staff, expressed his concern that a medical doctor had been hired by the con- sultant, David Coulson of Toronto, to inter- view the medical staff. During his report as management com- mittee chairman, Dr. Hanlon told the board he was unable to understand the consultant's reasoning for employing a doctor to do the interviewing. "1 don't know how_this doctor can help formulate policy for this hospital board to follow," he said. As far as Board Chairman Mary Lou Thompson was concerned, the medical staff had nothing to fear in being inter- viewed by the consulting firm's doctor. "I think you should be very honest with him and point out the concerns you have." Dr. Peter ,Long indicated the medical staff had reservations about talking openly to the interviewer because of their uncer- tainty "as to which side of the fence he is on." "Are we talking to this guy in our own in- terest, or are we talking to him and pro- viding him information to feed back to the ministry," he asked. Although the doctor is hired by the con- sulting firm, the purpose of,his interview is to contribute to the role study, Executive Director Norman Hayes pointed out. And, the purpose of that study is to provide the board with a variety of options and strategies as to its future direction, "but it is up to the board to decide the direction it wants to take." Dr. Hanlon, however, also said he was disappointed in the direction the study ap- pears to be taking. "I thought they would be coming up with innovative ideas that would take this hospital into the next cen- tury." Instead, Dr. Hanlon said he feels the consultant was only looking at existing hospital facilities and telling the board which is cost efficient and which is not. Mr. Hayes said Mr. Coulson's most re- cent report was only the study's second discussion paper and not intended to do anything more than provide the manage- ment committee with background information. Robert Middleton, property committee chairman, told the board he had been frank during a preliminary interview and that he saw no reason not to continue in this manner during a second interview he was expecting within the next few weeks. That interview, he understood, would be conducted by the same doctor who will in- terview medical staff. "I didn't get the im- pression they (the consultants) were work- ing with the ministry." Robert Pike, finance and audit commit- tee chairman, said he was pleased withthe role study procedure to this point. "I don't think we should prejudge the outcome until the final report is in." Mrs. Thompson agreed and added that the ultimate decision would rest with the board. "All they are doing is presenting us with options," she said. "I've never -felt that they were telling us what to do." Ross Davies, also a member of the management committee, said the study was still in the discussion stage at this point. "And no, he (Mr. Coulson) is not steering us in any direction. That's what a discussion paper is all about."
