sirnply duplicate services already avail- able in the region as part of a plan to decentral ize its operations the health ministry has announced that seven regional officesand five satellite offices will be created to integrate and enhance local ser- vices across ontario r i the newmarket office will serve the central east region which will take in the simcoe york and haliburton kawaftha pine ridge health units which stretch almost to ottawa the move aligns health care borders with social service boundaries the other offices will be located in mississauga hamilton london sudbury and ottawa

which sometimes clashes head- on with regional council arid now a third- agency- with this ministry office its a recipe for confusion kurji said perhaps we should see if some of these levels could be eliminated altogether but york dhc director graham constantine says the ministry office will handle the operationalfinancial side of health care while the dhc con tinues to lead the planning process in terms of decisions being made closer to home i think its a good thing he said the ministry wants the regional offices in place by 2000 and has already advertised for the seven regional directors
