For Minister of Health Long and crammed medical officer of health to inform the His days are long, from early in the morning until late at night and they are crammed full with appointments. Vet he never seems to miss a beat or get ruffled even when under verbal attack. And in between all the scheduled events, he has in his stride, dealt with unscheduled events such as the deaths of 16 elderly people in_Exten- dicare in London and an acquired im- mune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) controversy.' The man who has dealt with these crisis is the provincial minister of health, Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elston. In fact, a day that had been set aside for him to meet with reporters from his local riding ended up being interrupted by a meeting with Toron- to media over the death from AIDS of a Toronto teacher. Also, the day end- ed up being budget day for the young Liberal government of which. Elston is a member. That party's first pro- vincial budget in over 40 years was brought down. Arriving in the ministry of health offices on October 24, reporters were met by David Lamont, a Port Elgin native and special assistant to Elston. The youthful minister appeared a lit- tle later after more reporters arrived. school board of an employee with AIDS. Later, press representatives visited the speaker of the provincial legislature, Perth MPP Hugh Edighoffer. At the same time, Elston was being briefed on the AIDS situa- tion and meeting with more Toronto media over the AIDS issue. He sees the ministry's role in the AIDS issue as one of providing "more and better" information on the fatal ailment. That is only one of several issues the head of the health portfolio has to deal with. Extra -billing by doctors is another large issue. His party has promised to abolish this practise by a small number in the medical profes- sion. Elston is working to that end. Drug costs has been another issue taken into consideration by the health minister. During question period in the pro- vincial legislature that day, the MPP is asked several questions, most relating to a 90 -day strike of am- bulance drivers in the Niagara area. There were no questions on the AIDS story. Following question period, Elston was cornered by about 10 of the strik- ing ambulance drivers. They were asking him to intervene and end the He was quick to tell the reporters strike; but the minister maintained he of the AIDS story admitting it was has no authority to do so. " causing an uproar in the ministry. A He stood his ground. Even when his story in the Toronto Sun, the day jacket was pulled and Queen's Park before, said the minister was looking security guards cautioned the drivers into why no health report had been to remain calm Elston remained made to the effected school board. unruffled. Elston said, with a smile to the local The 15 to 20 staff members that he reporters, that he has to learn to be has gathered around him, have specific when speaking with nothing but praise for the minister. reporters. What he actually said was Liz Sterling, legislative assistant, he would look at the report.- There is researches and provides Elston with no requirement, he said, for the the information he needs when being full days questioned. She said he has never been caught short and he knows the material Relating how hectic Elston's schedule is, Mr. Lamont said that Saturday, the minister would be in Aurora. From there he would travel to Ottawa and be back in the riding for a banquet at 6 p.m. The health minister does have a driver and Mr. Elston deals with correspondence or other material while on these drives between engagements. This reporter ran into Elston at the banquet on Saturday night, the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board's staff ban- quet, and you'd never know he had been across the province that day. However, his constituency work is important to him. In a priorities rating, a constituency matter comes first, then health matters, then his cabinet responsibilities. Mr. Elston represents the provincial ridings of Bruce -Grey, Grey, Perth, Simcoe East and Simcoe Centre in the cabinet. As health minister, Elston is in charge of an 58.9 billion budget. "After today it will be a little bit higher," joked the minister. Of that budget, $4.3 billion is for hospitals and $2.2 billion is for doc- • tors- The remaining amount covers health units, nursing homes and other health care programs. While he is still relatively new on .the job, he considers it important to have good people around him to help develop policy. One such person is Dr. Tim Lynch who says "hurrah" that the minister has taken professional people on staff. Despite the hectic days, the swarm of media and the endless questions, the member from Huron -Bruce, the Wingham native is still Murray, just Murray.
