Zurich council helps doctor
recruitment committee with cash
By Scott Nixon
• 7-A Retiorrer
ZURICH • Atter a lengthy discussion Thursday
night council ha'. decided to pruvtde a grant of $8(1(7
and an interest-free loan of $1,000 to a local group try-
ing to recruu doctort. to Zurich.
,
- Council also decided to send a letter o/ support tot
File group to the Ministry of Health to help the group in
its attempts to have Zurich'declared -medically under.
serviced "
Robert Westlake. speaking on behalf of the group.
said such p declaration will allow the group to attend
reiauntnent lairs and pay travelling expenses for doc-
tors who cunle to look at the cuomnunity Also, if the
vunmwnity Hasn't attracted a doctor wilhsn a year 01
helot' detemuned medically. underservtced. the pro
gram will provide $15,00(1 1(1 use as an Incentive In
bringsng doctors to the area. •
Cum Brad Claustus, also it member of the re-
'erunnient committee: spoke out in favour ot helping
the recruitment group, adding n is something Zurich
steeds
Also discussed was the issue 01 whether to support
the:South H4run doctor recruitment committee another
committee trying to bring doctors to the area. Clausius,
a member of both recruitment committees, said Zurich
council must give its support to the Zurich committee
to show lis eumninment to the community. Westlake
added that a would be better fur the Zurich group if
• council only supported the Zurich committee, although
he udtkd. "We're nut saying anything negative about
anyone else."
Council decided to write a letter of support fur the
South Huron recruitment committee stating that it will
. continue to attend the meetings but us first.priurity is
the 'Lunch committee.
While council had no problem writing letters of sup-
port fur the Zurich and South kluron doctor recruitment
committees, the decision un whether to donate funds to
$
the Zurich committee was euniroversiul
Ina (ether (runt, committee member Steve Hate er.
the -committee requested a grant of $2,0(0 to cover the
$800rcharge to become an incorporated non-profit or-
gatitzauun and to help cover other expenses. Once the
committee is officially incorporated n can begin fund-
raising. Clausius said the connnrtter should know in
six to eight -weeks whether 'Zurich will be granted un- -
derserviced status.
Cuun. Marg • Hulloes wondered Why the committee
hasn't yet approached Hay Township, the Chambe► of
Commerce and Blue Water Rest Humc for financial
'support -
Clausius responded that the Chamber has dune all -of
the "leg work" for the committee so far and suggested
it is councils responsibility to help the committee
"What have we put lurward tri this. so far Y' Noth-
ing." Clausius said
He also said the village has inure to gain frons the re-
cruitment eunutuuee's than do Hay Township. the
Chamber and Blue Water
Clausius told council the recruitment has a tuugh
struggle ahead to attract doctors to Zurich.
"It s not easy because these doctors really dun't want
to cunle out here." he said..He also explained that other
medically undcrservtced areas such as Kitchener -
Waterloo and Windsor have much greater resources to
use to attract doctors to their municipalities.
An original suggestion by council to only give the
committee the 5800 grant was rebuffed by Clausius.
who said S800 is only "a drop in the bucket" for what
tfrc committee needs. although he added. "but we're
sure not going to look $800 in the mouth."
Council eventually agreed to grant the committee
S80O with an interest-free loan fur S 4000 with the rec-
ommendation that the committee approach other
groups tat money.
Council has given the committee one year to repay
the loan.
