She was referring to the Compre- hensive Health System Planning Commission which is developing a 10 -year strategy to ensure the 3 million residents of southwestern Ontario receive the best possible health care heading into the 21st Century. The 10 -member commission has been consulting with the public, health care consumers, the region's five district health controls and ap- proximately 400 health providers, including 45 hospitals to develop a health care system that is accessi- ble, affordable and effective. "It's going to be very much a fore -runner of the planning that we hope to see going on over the next few years across Ontario," Gigant- ers said after a meeting with Com- missioners last week. "I hope the people of this area will engage in the discussion that the Commission will be leading as it works to bring forward its recom- mendations," the Health Minister said. The public has an important voice in making "the choices about how we use our resources, and who gets what kind of assis- tance and support, and how that contributes to the better health of our Earl Orser, Chair of the Com- mission, said all Commissioncn are keenly aware of the need to "respond to community standards" across the region. Our plan has to reflect the needs of everyone who uses or partici- pates in the health caro system, and to make health care more ac- countable to the public at large." The Commission - the first of its kind in the province -- was es- tablished by the provincial govern- ment in February 1990. It held ex- tensive public hearings in October and November across the region's 10 counties, and has solicited addi- tional viewpoints through ques- tionnaires, site visits and meet- ings. The commission is scheduled to have a preliminary plan ready in June and then will do additional public consultation before the final report is delivered to the Health Mmister, probably in August.

Wore Vet ision is a Chri ttian re- lief agency that does work such as caring for orphans and pro- viding basic necessities for the needy - things like food, cloth- ing, shelter and medical aid - world-wide. The Love Loaf is a symbol of all that - sharing something very basic with those who need it, an act of kindness and love. In his letter of commendation of Morley Hall, Andrew Bmdjar, World Vision area Rep- resentative said, "That ($1,800) will feed a lot of hungry chil- dren." - Hall does this work at his own r expense, and has been at it for - two years.
