The council approved several Community Investment Fund sub- missions earlier considered by the ad hoc proposal review commit- tee. Ad hoc review committee chair- man Terry Fadelle suggested that the council lump all the proposals together with the dollar amounts presented in the report. He said that the members of the comrhittee were impressed with the quality of the written and ver- bal presentations and recognized the significant time and effort ,put forth to produce the proposals. Fadelle said the committee was guided by two principles: do what's best for the community, and be cost effective. He noted that some money had already been ear -marked, by an earlier agreement. The Huron County Consumer/Survivor De- velopment Initiative had been allo- cated'$51,500, and the Family De- velopment Initiatives Fund had been allocated $13,385. He added the proposal was from the Canadi- an Mental Health Association (Hu- ron), but would cover both Huron and Perth Counties. Also approved by the council were the Ontario Friends and Fam- ily of Schizophrenics in Huron County proposal. with an annual budget of $6,280; the Community Outreach for the Elderly -Crisis In- tervention and Education proposal ($7,395); the Case 'Management proposal for southern Perth County - St. Marys ($22,000); the Huron -Perth Crisis Intervention Program proposal ($284,350); 'and the Consumer/Survivor proposal for Perth County ($18,730). Fadelle said that the committee alio. recommeti�ed the provision of"5. "Cake"'hiahfgerleill'sis worker, through Stratford General Hospital for, , northern Perth at an annual cost of $45,000, with the under- standing that community outreach be a vital component and that the allocation includes provision of transportation costs. He said that after lengthy delib- eration, the committee recom- mended a provision of four case nanagers, one seconded to each of the Community Psychiatric Ser- vices, with funding channelled through CMHA (Huron). Fadelle added that community outreach and client, focus are essential and adequate provision must be made for transportation costs in the allo- cation. "The success of this proposition is dependent upon further collabo- ration between the CMHA (Hu- ron) and Alexandra Marine and General Hospital of Goderich," he said. Fadelle added that the commit- tee hopes, through this somewhat unusual arrangement, to promote improved communications, collab— oration and cooperation and mutu- al respect between the organiza- tions for the benefit of the community. "Should either organization be unwilling to proceed on this basis, the committee has formulated a back-up recommendation,"„ he said. Fadelle said that refinements to budgets may be required, as there were questions from the commit- tee on several of the proposals.

Process' discussion needed Huron -Perth District Health Council executive director 'Fraser Bell reported on a joint meeting between the council's hospital/ health services study committee and the governance committee. He noted that the hospital/health services study committee is the first to be developed wholly by the DHC. He added that since the governance committee was in the process of developing guidelines, it was felt that it be involved in this process. Bell said that considerable dis-, cussion took place concerning the structure/composition of a hospi- tal/health services study steering committee. It was decided that some 'process' issues should be •discussed before the group would be able to make concrete decisions regarding the steering committee composition, He said that the process will in- volve extensive consultation and considerable, effort will be made to involve health service consumers and providers, particularly those who might not feel 'represented' on, the steering committee. "Focus groups should be held to allow homogeneous groups to deal with issues in their own way, for example, to apply their own per- spective to the issues," said Bell. He said that consultations and meetings will be held throughout Huron and Perth to ensure that all have an opportunity to become in- volved and to ensure that the DHC is cognizant of concerns through- out the two counties. 'The Huron and Perth Medical Societies will be addressed to com- municate the importance of physi- cian involvement in the process. The DHC- long-term care com- mittees and the mental health com- mittee will be consulted on a regu- lar basis to ensure that recommendations are consistent with their reform process. Bell said that sub -committees will be established to obtain input from many stakeholders. The hospital liaison committee will be a formal sub -committee and will have an opportunity to review and provide feedback on all reports. Human resources, technical (fi- nance/health records) sub- committees will be established to obtain specific input, and the exist- THE WINNIIAMADVANCETIMf9 •• .' A ■ A..
