He outlined the development of District Health Councils since basic planning was begun in 1972. Previous to this all health CUTE COSTUMES - Judged as best couple at the Zurich Public School Hallowe'en party were Lorie Turkheim and Karen Steinbach along with Donna Turkheim who rounded 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.
