Advisory panel will counsel victims
The Ontario government is providing up
to $300,000 to establish a public education
advisory panel on Acquired immune Defi-
ciency Syndrome — AIDS — and to support
and counsel people with the disease, Health
Minister Murray Elston announced.
"We are setting aside $200,000 for the
panel to promote information and education
by developing communications programs
for the public and high-risk group," Elston
said.
"Through the panel and counselling pro-
jects, we will work towards helping the On-
tario public become knowledgeable about
the disease, strengthen the community-
based volunteer sector, and create a com-
munity environment that is humane, com-
passionate and understanding."
Elston said $100,000 will be directed by the
Ontario government to the AIDS Committee
of Toronto FACT) for support and
counselling of people with AIDS. The money
will go to the cost of maintaining a com-
munity education officer and two volunteer
program co-ordinators.
The public education advisory panel will
be headed by Jaye Brown, associate pro-
fessor of social work at McMaster Universi-
ty, as chairman. Panel members will in-
clude representatives of the City of Toronto,
ACT, the Canadian Hemophilia Society, St.
Elizabeth Visiting Nurses Association, the
Ontario Public Health Association, Ryerson
School of Journalism, the media, and the
ministry.
The panel will produce information
materials, including pamphlets and
videotapes, for distribution to health profes-
sionals and public groups, and will make
speakers, knowledgeable about the disease,
available to groups such as school boards
and parent -teacher associations.

The Ontario government and Health
Ministry have already undertaken several
initiatives related to AIDS. The government
is providing approximately $1 million to the
Canadian Red Cross Society as Ontario's
contribution to a national blood screening
and testing program to start this fall. Also
this fall, the ministry's central laboratory in
Etobicoke will begin diagnostic specimen
testing, a service currently available only at
the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control
in Ottawa.
The ministry so far has made more than
$700,000 available for AIDS research. A
comprehensive epidemiological study is
now underway at the University of Toronto,
and smaller research projects have been
funded at the Hospital for Sick Children in
Toronto and University of Western Ontario
in London.
