Outline district health councils
Mr. Stephen Skorez, area plan-
ning co-ordinator for Comm-
unity Health Services, Toronto,
was guest speaker at a recent
meeting of the Huron County
Chapter of the Registered Nurses
Association of Ontario held at the
Seaforth Community Hospital.
He outlined the development of
District Health Councils since
basic planning was begun in
1972. Previous to this all health

out the family.
care was largely institutional and
wholly planned by providers,
doctors and nurses. In the future
health care is also to be plan-
ned by consumers, those who
receive the care. All aspects of
health care are to be included
in District Health Care and inv-
olve all para -medical workers
such as ambulance crews, home
care workers.
At present, five District Health
Councils exist in Ontario. Each
council is responsible for the
entire health care of the district
under the Health Minister; this
includes both healing the sick and
preventing the sickness.
A modified steering commit-
tee is to be set up in Huron
County with several main obj-
ectives. Consumer input should
be expanded, ` money must be
spent more wisely, care must
include the environment outside
the Institution and alternative
ways of increasing care must be
sought. Finally, when the Dist-
rict Health Council is formed
it should consist of six providers
of care, six consumers of care
and three politicians. These
people should be able to relate
health care geographically
rather than locally. They should
be community minded people
and should regard themselves
as vehicles of the public.
Meetings will be held to which
the public will be invited. This is
a new concept in health care.
Keep an open mind, attend meet-
ings and get educated on what it
is all about. Only by public int-
erest will the right people be-
come the Health Council of the
area in the future.
