Ministry may replace volunteer boards
The possibility of a minstry of health
move to replace the local volunteer hospital
boards in the province with elected district
boards was the topic for some heated
discussion at the regular May meeting of
the Wingham and District Hospital Board
of Governors.
Mary Lou Thompson, board vice-presid-
ent, told the meeting that news of such a
possibility was reported during a recent
Ontario Hospital Association convention
which she attended in Toronto.
According to Mrs. Thompson, specula-
tion is that the ministry would like to make
the change so that in the future members
would be elected to district hospital boards
and paid to sit on that board.
"It is their feeling that since they will be
paid, they will more responsible," she
said.
Mrs. Thompson said she came away
from the meeting where the possible
change was- discussed "with the feeling
that the day of the voluntQer board will no
Longer be here in the not too distant
future."
She said it was suggested at the con-
vention that local boards can do some
things to try and avert such a change.
Emphasis was placed on present boards
becoming more responsible "or our days
as board members are numbered",
Peer reviews and board retreats were
effective means of assuring the respon-
sibility of members. Retreats were consid-
ered the most effective by those at the
convention although they were also more
expensive.
West Wawanosh and Ashfield Town-
ships representative Marian Zinn, a former
school board member, said she did not
think such a move would be a good one and
would be opposed to it.
Dr. Brian Hanlon, hospital chief of staff
said if the change were to take place "the
public is going to have a health service that
they are not going to be able to get into".
The people who suppport the hospital will
no longer have the say in how it is
operated, he added.
"What has happened to the obligation of
citizenship?" Dr. J. K. McGregor asked.
He suggested the idea of getting paid to sit
on a hospital board is "erroneous".
Hospital Administrator Norman Hayes
told the board the idea was not a recent
one. An earlier study, the Mustard report,
had included such a proposal among its
recommendations.
"You should read it some time, Mr.
Hayes said. "It's very interesting."
The report, according to Dr. McGregor,
is also "very frightening".
Such a change would be just one more
example of people "having their rights
legislated away from them under the
pretense they will be protected by the
government," Dr. Hanlon said. He pointed
to legislation for rent control and for the
conversion of apartment units to condomin-
iums as examples of his claim.
"The public is being tranquilized by the
so-called social services," he said.
Teachers reach agreement...

new teachers who will be hired at the
minimum, thereby saving the board
money, he said.
Mr. Cale said he feels this provision will
also help make sure there is room for
young people moving in by providing an
opening for people retiring at the top.
Cale said the agreement was strong-
ly accepted by teachers with a ratification
of about 89 per cent.
Although the contract was widely ac-
cepted, he said, a lot of issues have been
there for a while and will be brought bad
again.
"It would be naive to think you're going
to make great progress in a single series of
bargaining.
"Especially when you're dealing with
hard negotiators like the board.
The contract betwwen OSSTF and the
board was negotiated in Owen Sound Apr.
18-19. The teachers had been without a con-
tract since August 1985.
