sexual topic in Toronto and It was suggested he doesnt listen to regional councillors since he Is really by fee province Mrs Kelly said everything Dr Cote brings to council is approved Parents emp they should be given a say If their daughter is going to receive birth control and some suggested tbe teens are learning of these sendees available from tbe health unit via their school A mother said taking the effects hormone balance and there are side effects from pills She wondered if teens are warned these problems when they visit the public health nurse One parent suggested a teenage girl won know where to go for medical help after they find they have problems from the pill This mother suggested this might be a factor In teenage suicides Parents were also concerned that there may not be followup counselling for teen after she receives birth control It was also suggested health mines would have knowing a teen seeking birth control was younger than is or Concerns about proliferation of veneral disease and herpes were raised Having birth control available without parents knowing Just makes it easier for teens to become sexually active Whiting said Halton is the only area looking at what is really a provincewide policy of giving out birth control to teens without parents consent He warned If changes Its policy teens will still be able to go to Guelph or Peel and get the ser vice He noted physicians have told tbe region If a girl Is going to be sexually active it better for her health If she usea birth control than If she becomes pregnant He noted there were only six or seven cases last year of teens under IS receiving birth control without their parent being informed The regional councillor said he couldnt answer many of the parents only Cole had the answers He said the policy was designed to help teens whose parents are the minority tbe parents who dont care what their kids do He said the policy has existed for many years now it Just wasnt made public until recently It brought in by Dr Cole While the province pays for the birth con trol program and sets out guidelines the region has ultimate control Dr Cole t been given approval for everything he requests he hasnt been given permission to hire all the health nurses he wants and his request for a nutritionist was also rejected VITOS I Vancouver vs STIMORAL POSTER DAY lawns in A S L square off Stadium The
