District Health Council interference The Ggderief. Hospital board wilt write a letter to the Ontario Ministry of Health and the ThamesValley District Health Council objecting to. any inte _ren., by, that council in local health matters - Discussion on this subject, resulted at a hospital board: meeting January 24 fFroma letter recently sent to all doctors m the comnj unity as well. as to the town's psychiatric facility. The letter, sent by the Thames Valley District Health Council at the request of the Minister of Health, contained a questionnaire for the purpose of a survey on adult mental health care support services in this area. In a report to the hospital board, Dr. Mario Cauchi, President of the Medical Staff, said, "It is very clear in this letter that the Minister of Health is relating to the Thames Valley District Health Council as if they are the District Health Council for our county.

This contravenes, the. wishes of the,people o our com- munity, who a few years ago, voted. against the concept of a District Health Council for Huron County. Those people who voted in this manner were very wise since District Health Councils have been found to be an expensive and cumbersome iece of bureaucracy which produces very little good." Hospital administrator Elmer Taylor agreed with Dr. Cauchi, stating his belief that the achievements of District Health Councils were not as great as the negative aspects. He explained that Goderich has a working alternative to a District Health Council and that is the Huron -Perth Administrator's Working Committee.

We Make Good Deals" Dr. Cauchi told the board, "If we accept the Thames Valley District Health Council as acting on our behalf in this matter (mental health survey), I. am sure that soon the Thames Valley District Health Council will assume control of the entire health care of our county and in this way, we will have a District Health Council imposed on us. This District Health Council will control health care funding to our community and we will then require its permission for expenditures and projects that we now control ourselves. This would make your position as a board member redundant and poweeless. Furthermore, it would lead to more centralized services, the bulk of which would be in London and it would be very dif- ficult for smaller hospitals to acquire funds for any specialized services such as an intensive are unit or a psychiatric unit." Cauchi contimed, "If we do not want this kind of restriction and interference in our affairs, we must act strongly and in a unified fashion with the other hospitals in our county against this Thames Valley District Health Council take-over of our medical community. We (the medical staff) suggest that this be done in the form of an official letter to the Thames Valley District Health Council as well as to the Minister of Health outlining our position." Hospital board member Bob Dempsey agreed, saying that the ministry should be told, "We have our own little well-oiled operation up here, just leave us alone.
