The Huron County District Health Council Steering committee reached a strong consensus for this action at its meeting of June 9. It was felt that there is no alter- native if Huron health care con- sumers are going to have their needs and interests protected in a time of reducing resources, and, if the local communities are going to play a meaningful role in health care decision-making through ad- vice offered directly to the Minister of Health. Widespread support. for this action was noted throughout the Huron health care and consumer community who participated in the public information and hearings process conducted over the last three months. In confirmation of their consen- sus, committee members voted to support the establishment of some sort of health council, recognizing pURPLE GROVE Scotts attend family picnic Deanna and Morley Scott of Purple Grove attended the- Pet- . teplace family picnic in Clinton on Sunday.

There were no negative votes. Eighteen (including the Chair) of the 19 committee mem- bers were present. At its next meeting, June 23, the committee will begin to consider a number of boundary issues. Con- sideration will be given to the op- tion of joining with Perth County in a joint Huron -Perth DHCrve"Rture. The large majority of respondents to Steering Committee hearings and surveys indicated that the best route for Huron to meet Ministry of Health minimum population re- quirements for a DHC is to join with Perth County. Subcommittees of the two DHC Steering Commit- tees have been established to examine some of the common boundary issues together. The Steering Committee members will also review tie merits of joining with existing DHCs in the area (Grey -Bruce, Thames Valley, or Lambton DHCs).

Departure time is 9:30 at the hall. Elaine Errington gave a repon'on the district annual meeting held in Wingham. A social time followed with lunch served by Norma Raynard. A number of proponents of the Huron -Perth combination suggest that Huron and Perth would be more equal partners because they would both be starting fresh and they are similar geographic areas. A number of joint ventures are already in place for existing health care initiatives. This may make the extension to joint regional planning in health care a logical next step. The Perth County DHC Steering Committee has not yet reached the point of making a decision about whether to form a DHC. Last week's decision will be com- municated to the Minister of Health, the Honorable Ruth Grier. The process of establishing guidelines for structure, governance and mem- bership will take several more months. Some committee members have indicated a need to examine a number of structural and planning issues before final decisions can be made and the committee completes its mandate.
