(photo by Alan Rivett) District Health Council is alternative to be considered A committee in Huron County is looking at co-ordinated health services for the county and a district health council (DHC) is at least one alternative to be considered. The Huron County community services counnll, a group which has been meeting regularly for a couple of years, has an- nounced the formation of a health planning committee to study the matter of co- ordinating health services. The council made the decision on July 2 after Jim Bain, area planning co-ordinator for district health' councils for the ministry of health presented a report on the DHC's. • The local initiative has no connection with a similar study which may be under- taken in Perth County this fall; stresses committee spokesman Paul Carroll. Car- roll represents the Huron County board of education on the.council. He said there is no push from the ministry of health or from the local medical community to look into co- 'ordinated health services. •- . The community services council has as its goal, the co-ordination and co-operation of social services in the county. There are 35 members of the council representing a wide variety of agencies, he said. He also 'said the committee 'wants to stress that it plans to 'look at the broader question of whether health care needsto be co-ordinated. The idea won't be to see if there is support for a district health conn-. cil. A district health council could be one alternative for coordinating health care. ' The health planning committee has decided to host a public forum in mid- October of this .year to give an opportunity for providers and consumers to ,comment on the need for more co-ordination, he said. He indicated a possible outcome would be for the planning committee.. to ask the Minister of Health to establish a steering committee to formally examine the issue .of co-ordination should the public forum decide that. During August the committee will con- tact municipal representatives at the local. and county ,level, health providers, coin- munity agencies and the general public in- viting their input. The questions will be broad in nature and will seek to examine the nature of health ' planning as it takes place at the present time. It is hoped that participants will offer suggestions to ensure Huron people are not losing out on any aspect of health service normally available where some form of co- ordinating process is in place, he said. The committee also emphasizes that the geographicGal area under study is Huron County aldne. Contact will 'be established with the Perth County committee to keep 'information current, but no action to co- ordinate a bi-county effort is planned at this time. In the late 1970's, a bi-county committee considered and rejected the idea of a district health council. Information flyers and bulletins will be issued during September to . provide background information and generate public interest in the October forum. Members of the planning committee are chairperson Valerie Bolton representing Women Today, secretary Paul Carroll, Gord McKenzie .representing community hospital administrators, Paula Pranovi representing Canadian, Cancer Society, Laurie Urb and Tom Hanrahan represen- ting palliative care project, Dr. Don Neal representing the addiction research f&in' dation, Lynn Armstrong -Hayes represen- ting Canadian Cancer Society, Lourie Urb and Tom Hanrahan, representing palliative. -care -project, Dr. Don Neal representing the Huron County medical society, Jim Bain and Doug Bonnell, representing the ministry of health. Other members are expected to be added. The next ,meeting ofthe planning com- mittee'is set for Wednesday, Aug. 21.
