The MPP for Huron -Bruce was attending the Huron County plowing match on Satur- day meeting with constituents. He spent some time talking to reporters. The health minister said while the surplus OHIP numbers weren't unknown, it came as a surprise to him when he was sworn in as cabinet minister in the Liberal government of David Peterson at the end of June. Some of the surplus numbers are caused when married women separate from their husbands, get their own OHIP numbers and then reunite with their spouses. However, the OHIP number is left outstanding. Although he didn't go into details, there are other causes of Surplus OHIP numbers. "This is what my ministry is looking into," said Elston. - He has spent the summer getting to know his ministry throughout the province. ' The two big items on his agenda are the Ontario Drug Benefits, and extra billing with the doctors. He said the problems with OHIP and the ODB are not new ones, rather they have been ongoing for the past four or five years. WEEKLY WEATHER .
