Since hospital board meetings are not reported by this paper, we are unfortunately in no position to point at or even suggest what caused this pitiful We never refuse to publish signed letters as long as they are written in good taste. The letter below is properly signed by Reeve Robert Kenny and Councillor Gerald Jackman.
