Prov. aids palliative care
The Ontario government will
provide $451,000 to more than 70
community-based palliative care
programs in Huron, Perth, Oxford,
Elgin and Middlesex, announced
Huron MPP Paul Klopp Sept. 16 on
behalf of Health Minister Ruth
Grier.
Of that amount, $278,000 will be
used to provide palliative care
education to more than 115 com
munity-based service providers,
family physicians, and staff in
long-term care facilities. A further
$78,000 will be provided to three
existing palliative volunteer
programs, while $95,650 will be
used to develop and co-ordinate a
pain and symptom management
team for the five counties.
"These initiatives will greatly
improve the quality of care
available in the region to people
who are dying - in their homes or
in a longer-time care facility," said
Mr. Klopp.
The funding is part of a
previously announced $4.82
million for palliative care programs
across the province.
"Ontario's palliative care policy
is breaking new ground. By
educating front-line workers and
physicians, it is one of the most far-
reaching in the country," said Mr.
Klopp.
"These initiatives are further
evidence that redirection of the
long-term care system is well
underway," Mr. Klopp added.
"They give terminally-ill people the
choice of dying with dignity at
home, or in their communities.
They also allow community-based
organizations to strengthen their
services through palliative care

County.
The pain and symptom manage
ment teams will operate out of
Parkwood Hospital in London.
The government used a palliative
care report by an independent
committee to determine how the
funds should be spent.
The report is the result of a
unique partnership of more than 85
representatives from consumer
groups, caregivers, volunteers,
service provider organizations,
long-term care facilities, hospitals,
physicians, professional
organizations and unions. The area
was represented by Reena
McDermott of London, Rick
Gautreau of Stratford, Bob Hines of
St. Thomas, Dr. John Swift and
Gail Ure (Co-chair of Palliative
Care Initiatives for Ontario) of
London.
"I want to thank the committee
members for their work under
sometimes very difficult
circumstances," said Mrs. Grier.
"One cannot help but be moved by
the fact that many of the members
were terminally ill when they
volunteered. They see this report as
a lasting testament."
