BBEDLMMETT The Herald There are currently cildren in Region of whom are from Halton Hills on a waiting list for subsidized day care spaces and the situation is expected to get wor before it gets better According Bonnie Social Services Com missioner the waiting list is ex to increase IS per cent by January 1992 The majority of children on the subsidized day care waiting list belong to families who make a net yearly income of between and 19000 and have one or two children said Ms Not surprisingly the recession and Regional budget constraints are two of the reasons the waiting list is so high Ms explains the com bination of job layoffs because of the recession and Regional decision last year not to in crease funding for subsidized day care in have both contributed to the lack of subsidized day care spaces Two other reasons for the large waiting list include population growth in the Region and an in creased number of women in the work force said Ms Ms points out 251 of the children now on the waiting list are classified high priority That means these children meet one or more of the Regions priority Bonnie Ewart criteria including emergency care and medical referrals The 15 per cent increase to the waiting list predicted by the begin ning of next year will only be avoided if Regional Council decides to increase day care funding beyond current levels Ms Ewart said she will request additional funding during the up coming 1992 Regional deliberations but she wouldnt predict if the money will be forthcoming Thats a political decision said Ms Ewart Hills Regional Councillor Rick Bonnette who is a member of the Regions Health and Social Ser vices Committee said the 881 figure is unacceptable Despite making this claim he said it was too early too say if hed support an increase to day care fun ding next year Its day care funding cer tainly a priority but at this stage you dont know if there will be higher prionties said Bon CORRECTION NOTICE lor the advertisements that were
