Board conducting survey BY JACK RIDDELL, M.P.P. HURON Constituents currently receiving Workers' Compensation benefits should be aware of a survey which the Board will be conducting by telephone during the last part of October and the beginning of November. In an attempt to determine workers' satisfaction with the various services pro- vided to them by the Board, 1100 persons will be contacted by a survey firm with questions focussing on issues such as con- tacts with the Board at various stages of their claim, accessibility of Board person- nel, adequacy of and satisfaction with in- formation and services provided. Also in- cluded will be basic information on employment status, language, and current income. Should you be contacted, I would en- courage ncourage you to participate in order. to assist the Board in improving and enhanc- ing their services to injured workers. However, those contacted are under no obligation to respond, and anyone with queries concerning the survey will be con- tacted by someone from the Board to answer their questions.
