Councillors nominated to LI IN By Keith Roulston Citizen publisher Concerned the province seems to be rushing ahead with implementing Local Health Networks. Huron County councillors decided to nominate two of their own as directors to the organization. “I was shocked and surprised to see ads (seeking nominations for directors) in the London Free Press," said Goderich councillor Deb Shewfelt. He pointed out the network, to stretch from Tobermory to Lake Erie, is much bigger than the current district health council and he'd been told once the network was established the health council would “be toast”. Penny Nelligan. manager of the Huron County Health Unit said she had attended a meeting about the network and felt it would be a good idea to have local representation on the board. Nancy Kalbfleisch, acting director of the homes for the aged, said she had attended a provincial meeting and there had been no talk about appointment of the board at this time. The discussion was a brain-storming session and “it took our breaths away,” she said. Shewfelt warned the future of local hospitals would be decided by the networks which are designed to allocate provincial resources among various health providers. \“Any expenditure at your hospital or my hospital will have to go through this,” he warned. “1 really think it’s important.” Rob Morley of South Huron and Bill Dowson of Bluewater will be nominated as directors.
