got the rest. Jacob being not too nice
made sure that the next year most of
the sheep had spots.

WDH committee seeks
NH financial support
for doctor recruitment
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
At least one North Huron
councillor at the Sept. 16 meeting,
took time to look at the bigger
picture when asked by Wingham
hospital's recruitment committee to
financially assist them in their effort
of attracting doctors.
Verna Steffler and Vice-President
Site Administrator Margret Comack,
attended the meeting to show the
new promotional video for the
hospital and community, but also to
ask council to consider $500
monthly for an apartment for locum
physicians. These doctors are short-
term, vacation relief.
"The hospital is not funded for
these things." said Comack. "This is
coming out of the operating budget."
She added that currently the
hospital receives four per cent of its
funding from the government. "We
did a review and 10 years ago we
actually received more."
"Physician recruitment is in the
community's best interest."
Clerk-Administrator John Stewart
questioned where other
municipalities outside North
Huron from which residents
are served by the hospital have
been approached for financial
assistance.
Comack said that North Huron
was asked first as it is the
municipality in which the hospital is
located. However, they do plan to
make requests of other
municipalities.
Councillor Arnold Taylor pointed
out, however, that many North
Huron-residents use other hospitals.
"We have to look at the broader
picture."
Comack said she felt that with
more physicians in the community
they would "draw" these people
back to Wingham hospital.
Taylor, however, explained that
many did not go to other hospitals
because of a lack of physicians, but
rather because of geography. "North
Huron has people living in Blyth and
East Wawanosh who go to Goderich
and Clinton as their physician of
choice."
Taylor also wondered if by
encouraging locums they were
discouraging the recruitment of
long-term physicians. "It seems to
me were are giving more carrots to
encourage locums, rather than
someone who's going to stay 20-25
years."
Comack agreed that this can be a
concern, but said the committee has
been told the best way to get them is
to entice them with a temporary
position, "so hopefully getting
someone for six months convinces
them this is a good place to live their
life."
Taylor then wondered if three
locums would mean more money for
housing from council. Comack said,
"We'd be happy to have that
challenge."
The results are in for the Gateways
Presentation competition and Blyth
captured fourth place for
communities with less than 5,000
residents.
