The Ministry (of Health) announces the reform, and we call and ask them what hospitals are going to get what and w hen," said Forbes. "Then, about 10 days later, they start send­ ing out press releases." Despite the fact no specific allo­ cations have been made to individual hospitals, Wallace is hopeful that Halton Healthcare will be able to share the largesse. To prepare, they are already putting together a plan to help con­ vince the government they need the cash. "Basically what w e're going to do here is look at how we compare to other hospitals and present a busi­ ness plan," said Wallace. The ultimate aim is more staff, she said. Already, increased health care pressures forced Halton Healthcare to add 4.2 full tim e equivalent staffers to O akville's em ergency departm ent at an annual cost o f $300,000.

In his acceptance speech following the vote, Flynn said he wished he could have run against anyone but Graham, who has sat beside him during Oakville council meetings for the past 14 years. "It was really hard to run against Kathy," he admitted. During the provincial election, expected to be called for early June, Flynn will face NDP candidate Sean Cain, and either incumbent MPPs Terence Young (Halton Centre) or Gary Carr (Oakville South), o f the Progressive Conservatives.

C asual em ployees are fully- trained registered nurses and regis­ tered p rac tica l nurses who are brought in on an as-needed basis. If more money comes their way, the hospitals would be able to bring in more perm anent staff. In the m eantim e, W allace is gear­ ing up for the unusual experience of being able to spend. "This is such an abrupt change in d irection ," she said. "You're run­ ning in one direction, and suddenly som eone says 'here is some m oney.'"

The Tories will select their candi­ date on April 13th, but Flynn said he isn't daunted by the fact that he will run against an incumbent member.

Flynn, who is married and has an 18-year-old son, owns a local turf irri­ gation company. He was elected to town council in 1985 and has served five consecutive terms representing Ward 1.
