By GEORGE McCague MPPDufferlnSimcoe Few people realize ust how much of their tax do lar goes toward health expenditures The overall ministr of health budget will be $3 billion this ear which is rather hard igure to grasp However it is easier to understand when it is explained that it means 27 cents out of every dollar in the pro Vincial budget No one can argue that this is not worth it am sure that we all realize that the health needs if not always the wants of everyone in Ontario simply Imust be met The question is always To whom does the firesponsibility belong In other w0rds which group or groups can most effectively deliver the services which this province needs Naturally we are bound to think of the government and rightly so myself am proud of the standard of health care delivery which has been main tained in Ontario over the years Not only are the established programs being continued but new initiatives are also being explored PILOT PROGRAM For instance on September 29 the provincial secretary for social development Margaret Birch announced pilot pro ram of transportation services or the disabled This does not affect our riding directly now but anyone can see the value of focussing on the needs of the disabled and experimenting on ways of mak ing their lives more productive But lets not stop at the government There are many more groups which contribute to the healthy state our pro vinceisin It is really very simple No one wants government which simply assumes that every rcomniunity wants certain ser vices and then goes right ahead and gives them to us

fiassails tax increase those services are being paid for out of our own pockets COST SHARING That is why many indepen dent programs have been en couraged financially through costsharing or otherwise to spring up in various com munities The willingness and ability of social agency to pay part of the costs of such programs is an indication of the willingness of the community to support them Local govern ments or groups are usually closer to particular communi ty and are better able to judge its pulse There is neverending list of volunteer and partially subsidized groups in our own area The womens auxiliaries service clubs and volunteer organizations throughout DufferinSimcoe have an im pressive record of service to the hospitals and the health needs of the communities Support services such as the Mealson Wheels and the Victorian Order of Nurses are of an immense help In Dufferin the community coordinating committee re cently set up to coordinate health services in the County and to
