Steering Committee Seeks Input Of
Community Re District Health Council
A recently formed Steering
Committee to consider the estab.:
lishment of a District Health
•Council for the Grey-Bruce area is
soliciting responses, from members
of the public, health professionals,
Social service professionals and
organizations regarding the estab-
lishment of a District Health
ring Committee wants
t to th following questions:
o y • . support the establish-
t of a District Health Council?
0 tline 'reasons for support' and
lack of support
2. What should the geographical
boundaries of the District Health
Council be?
3. What should the membership
be? Suggest some names for
membership.
4. What do you think the function
of a District Health Council should
be?
5. Submit any ideas and views that '
you want the Steering Committee
to' consider.
The Steering Committee hopes
to obtain input .from as many
groups and individuals as possible,
so that a brief can be prepared that
is representative of the views of the
people in Grey-Bruce. The brief
would then be presented to the
Minister of Health as a recommen-
dation regarding the establishment
of a District Health Council.
A District Health Councils a
group of citizens within the District
to serve, as an advisory body to the
Ministry of Health. It is an
advisory body in planning which
should help aehieve integrated
health services. The 'Council
should establish priorities and
determine the health needs of the
District and match up the needs to
the resources available. The
Council should have as its planning
base not the concerns and needs of
the facilities or specialized pro-
grams, but rather the needs of the
total population in its geographic
areas
There are many advantages
which would support the formation
of a District Health Council. Area
planning rather than planning that
is done ,on an individual facility
basis would tend to decrease-some
of the gaps that exist in the delivery
•of health care. The needs of Grey
and Bruce could be outlined more
effectively to the Ministry of Health
by a District Health Council which
has the support of, all of the people
of , the area. Co-ordinated planning
between agencies providing care
should improve the directing ' of
patients to the proper level of care,
resulting in more efficient use of
facilities. • Planning that is done by
a District Health Council would be
more responsive to the needs of
this area than planning that is done
directly by the Ministry of Health.
There are also a number of
problems that can be anticipated if
a District Health Council is formed.
With District planning, there may
be • a tendency ",to downplay the
identity of the patient: the profes-
sional and the individual institu-
tion. Inadequate, or over-zealous,
planning could result in a loss of
facilities and professional services
for some smaller communities. If
there is an excess of political
manoeuvering, the District Health
Council could be reduced to a
rubber stamp, administrative pro-;
cess contributing little to efficiency
or effectiveness but adding to cost.
Voluntary co-operation between
groupsin health care with-different
points of view may be difficult if not
impossible to achieve. A District
Health Council has the potential of
becoming another level of bureauc-
racy in the delivery of health care.
The Steering Committee does
not intend to oversell the merits or
emphasize the 'disadvantages of a
District Health Council. It is
attempting to present a neutral
viewpoint with as many facts as
possible so that the people of .
Grey-Bruce can make their views
known.
In response to a policy statement
by the Minister of Health of Ontar-
io expressing desire to establish
District Health Councils through-
out the Province, 'Steering Commit-
