wer and will attempt to pro vide it or at least as much as can The information have now consists of report titled The Action Centre Conference on Dis trict llealth Councils and the verbal statements of Mr Halpin at our last meeting had no prior knowledge of 11 this concept and believe the rest of the board members were in the same situation For this reason it is obvious that the board could not really come to grips with the idea of ditrict health councils and also why decision was tabled until the next meeting As far as am concerned the decision will be tabled again if we do not have sufficient intor mutton at our next meeting The minister of health indicat ed in pccch at the conven tion that he would not force the formation of councils at this point but would allow reasonable time for the variou areas to form them The inference is quite plant that they will in fac become mandatory some fu ture time Mr Halpin thought that Simcoe and Muskoka counties would form council cost estimate 05 to $30000 would be 2n annual cost because of two full time staff Office facilities and travelling expenses of council members plus other related ex pcnses These expenses would be paid by provincial revcnuc TO STOP OVERLAP The ministry assumes that the cost of coupon will be saved by preventing duplication of ser vices in our area and that we will be able to provide better 1le at the same cost Also Dear Si in reference to Don OHearns column Jan 17 Where are you Charles Darrow Where are you Don Ollcain For the record would like to set straight some of your facts gttac some facts of

the Ontario Municipal Board asking them to stop the project Health councils may have merit some of the decision making po wer will be decentralized steering committee would be formed to prepare framework for the council and then sub mit names to the ministry for the council gather that the ministry also approves the membership of the steering committee The council would consist of amou mately 17 people NONE ELECTED As far can determine none of the council members would be elected or be respon sible to the electorate in any way unless the ministry was be sieged with protezts about their d3tision Generally speaking the minis try would make decisions about area budgets and the council would have to determine what services would be expanded or cut back thus relieving the min istry of responsibility for unpop utar decisions MY UNDERSTANDING All of the above is based on my understanding of the informa tion available to me and may not be entirely correct share lir Packards reser vations about the whole idea but also feel that we must exam ine the situation very carefully as there may be considerable merit in it One of my main concerns is that if we do decide to form council that some better method be found for determining who sits on the council and would also like to know who decides whether we form council at this time Mr llalpin had to leave before all these areas of concern could be fully discussed Yours truly ROBERT DENNIS 217 Edgehill Dr CSAO column draws reaction Can we not tell you wt dis satisfaction Our last contract of 15 per cent may sound good to some

Would you sacrifice your job for pile of political baloney Not on your life As an election issue you for see the government bringing in legislation probably taking way the right to strike From whom pray tell It is small mercy that you cannot take away from the CSAO something that it does not posess the right to mike Civil servants have never been popular with the public This quote from your column appears to me to be the over lying tone of your whole column While you say the CSAO keep ing away from being trapped as He scapegoat over winch the government could force an elcc ticn you still tend to ridicule the public service for not being stupid This only helps to lower our popularity What is yovw pur pose What do you really think of the public service Where is the logic in your
