Bell says policy consistent with DHC plan
Continued from page 1
cy included 24-hour emergency
care accessibility, as part of
restructuring of health services in
the county, the move to one admin
istration system within Huron-Perth
for the eight hospitals and local
health facilities, communities and
the District Health Council (DHC)
deciding on the needs for each
community.
The framework for "rural hospi
tal care is consistent with the rec
ommendations put forward by the
Huron-Perth DHC" following the
health services study, said Fraser
Bell, HPDHC executive director in
a press release following Wilson's
announcement.
"We recommended that the eight
hospitals in Huron and Perth work
together as a single eight-site hos
pital under one board and one
CEO," said Bell. "This appears
very consistent with the policy the
minister described."
"We are generally supportive of
the policy," said Thibert, "as it sup
ports the work Huron-Perth has
been doing and will continue to
do."
One of the main points stressed
in Wilson’s announcement was
access to 24-hour emergency care.
However, Thibert said this may be
an issue which could cause some
controversy.
The framework identifies four
types of emergency care, with
Level A being staffed only by
nurses and nurse practitioners.
Level B would have a doctor on
call, which is the level of most
Huron-Perth hospitals at present,
said Thibert.
"Seaforth sees itself as a Level B
hospital, but we need the guide
lines" for the specifics of services.
"The government wants access to
emergency service, but will the
community accept the level set?"
he asks. "It could be something of
potential interest and concern."
Level C would have a doctor on
site around the clock, such as Strat
ford and Level D would be centres
such as Sick Childrens' Hospital in
Toronto.
As for the consolidation of gov
ernance and administration, as out
lined in the framework, Thibert
said this is something the Huron-
Perth facilities have been working
towards for several months.
"We would like to think (Wilson)
came to Huron for the announce
ment because we are making
progress in (consolidation)."
The HPDHC expects further
direction from the Ministry of
Health regarding planning and poli
cy to establish hospital networks in
the coming weeks, said Bell.
"The next step will be to bring
together clinicians from across the
district to plan health programs on
a system-wide basis," said Deb
Campbell, HPDHC chair. "We
want to work with district hospi
tals, research and education facili
ties and community-based services
in Huron and Perth to ensure that
all health services work together in
the best possible way.
