TO Muiucipaiities-Huron Says
The provision of ambulance
service in Huron, where other-
wise lacking, was placed in the
lap of the local municipalities
by county council in the dos-
ing hours of the January ses-
sion. A report of the cciunty
board of health (1965) pointed
out that municipalities have
authority of the Municipal Act,
to enter into an agreement for
such service where not provid-
ed through the local board of
health.
So fab as county council is
concerned, this disposes of an
issue thrust upon it when opera-
tors • in the Goderich-Clinton-
Auburn area announced term-
ination of the •, services at the
end of 1965. Subsequently,
Ralph Hawes, of Goderich,
dertook to .eentinue it to' March
15, and on December 22 pro-
posed payment of $85,000 as
initial expenditure on a county-
wide service.
The board's report, presented
by Chairman John Morrissey, of
Crediton, pointed out that the
only written commitment r re-
ceived concern the area of God-
erich, Clinton and Auburn.
Funeral directors elsewhere on-
ly indicated ,orally what they
might plan.
Council was informed that an
offer•• had been received from
Alvin Sherwood, Dungannon, to
operate a' county -wide service
with six ambulances, with a
subsidy of 30 cents per capita
or about $15,000.
Discussion in count- indicat-
ed much opposition to the coun-
ty trying to handle a service,
and an- opinion on the part of
some members `'that the gen-
eral hospitals should organize
the service.
Deputy Reeve Wilmer. Cpth•
ill, Seaforth, said: 'Doctors, un-
dertakers and- hospitals could
get together and run it to .their
own advantage from a hospi-
tal."
Reeve Clifford Dtlnbar: `1
think the real solution is with
the hospitals, and until that can
be accomplished the present re-
commendetion.is one we should
accept." -
'Deputy Reeve Jack Alexan-
der, Wingham: "Pur - fire de-
partment is •prepared to take
over if the situation 'arises.' We
are opposed to a- countrywide
system; ...it should be open to
all, not just one or two go into
the business." •
Mr. Morrissey said the under-
takers are, not agreed.
"Some think the • county
should provide service, and
others are -quite willing to car -

ry on as they are. As to this
proposition from Mr. Hawes of
$85,000, it is entirely out of
line, and until the undertakers
are agreeable we are not tak-
ing too much action. One man
told me that for 180 calls he
had collected fees on all but
14."
Reeve Tom Leiper: "In Hul-
lett, we find it pretty hard to
provide service on a municipal
basis, so much of the township
lies near Clinton, and other
parts closer to Seaforth, and
at the north end is Blyth; we
would have to come to an agree-
ment with three of then. We
might have better service on a
county -wide basis than through
the municipalities."
Reeve Kreuter, Brussels, said
that after consultation with the
reeves of Grey and Morris, an
arrangement was made on the
local level.
"I think in every case some.
body would take it on," he said,
" the fire department or some-
body 'else."
Mr. Morrissey: "I .think the
fee has been too low, and may-
be that is the answer. -'Insur-
ance rates are up sharply."
Reeve Jewell: "Our two fun-
eral directors in Goderich have
given wonderful .service in the
past. We are not opposed to
coming to some agreement, but
there would still be Colborne
and part of Goderich Township
to be considered." •
Reeve Grant Stirling: "This
matter was brought up at the
Association of Counties, and
there is no county operating
an ambulance."'
Clerk Berry said a letter from
Wingham funeral directors in-
dicated they want to get out
of the ambulance.business. He
read some information from a
province -wide report on ambu-
lance service.,
it' was: -reported that ambu-
lance subsidies ranged from
$100 to $17,400. A survey show-
ed 23 operators carrying on the
service exclusively, and 158 in
connection with some other
business. Collections were made
in only 58% of traffic accident
calls..
When county representatives
on hospital boards were mak-
ing their reports earlier, the
ambulance question was brought
up by Warden Stewart.
"Some thought this could be
tied in with hospitals," he -said.
"Would -any of these men be
prepared to say whether or not
,this is a good idea?"
John Fischer, of Wingham,
thought• it ,might be worth look-
ing into. Deputy Reeve Jack
Alexander, Wingham, said: "We
have no• trouble with ambulanc-
es. We have two working; our
firemen are trained in first aid
and quite capable of handling,
an ambulance and quite pre-
pared to do that if we have
to, .but we have no trouble at
present."
"I think the ambulance prob..
lem is greater here than else-
where in the county;" said Hos-
pital Chairman John Schaefer.
"This will come up in council,
but personally I feel I want to
have some assurance there will
be ambulance service •in • Gode-
rich.• There are good reasons'•
why an ambulance should be
connected with a hospital. It
could be tied in with your an-,
swering service: If you have
co-operation of other hospitals
with ambulances, you could co-
operate and cover one another's
territory. Cost is one factor,
and in our position we are in
no position to make outlay for
necessary equipment oi' . face
the loss in •• running a service.
Some of the cost could be put
in with hospital cost,•;,as far as
OHSC is concerned and other
services integrated. We have at
present no orderlies to drive
an embulahce. Night calls
would be a problem, because
not too many hospitals have
night staff on, and for the night
hours When the number of .calls
is smallest, St. John Ambulance
might provide the go -and -carry•
type of service. We have had
some discussion, and if- no ser-
vlces'were provided I think the
hospital board would step in
and try to provide it." '
Reeve Duff Thompson, Clin-
ton, who presented the Clinton
Hospital report jn absence of
Beecher Menzies, said: • "At
firesent the Clinton Hospital is
working very closely with Sea -
forth; and' as far as the anibu-
Itinde is concerned in our com-
munity we, have no difficulty.
We made arrangenlents riot on-
ly tire' hospital But the town."

cial Act is passed, it will stan-
dardize ambulance. service and
set minimum basic require-
ments for operation. (\
"I have two vehicles o
ing efficiently and edonomical-
ly for Clinton and. Goderich,"
he said. "I should have three,
so that if the regular vehicle
is out of the area, another is
available. These will serve
temporally, but will be obsolete
when the Act is passed. If a
hospital is going to take it ov-
er, owe might as well get into
the basic minimum require-
ments right away, pay a man
$6,500, and provide staff for
24 hours. A. hospital is the
best place to run in from.
"We are not equipped to
handle intricate cases, such as
often are transferred to Lon-
don. What is the community
going to do when the vehicle
is away? The question is, who
is going to subsidize who? Hos-
pitals — the bigger ones - have
gone out" of this, and probably°
Listowel" and Kitchener -Water-
loo, are the only ones still do-
ing it."
