12 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday January 19, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Bonnie Brown appointed health critic Oakville MP Bonnie Brown has been appointed as health critic in the new Liberal shadow cabinet. The announcement was made Thursday by party leader Stéphane Dion. Brown's appointment reflects her broad experience with health issues. Prior to her election to federal parliament, Brown served as a governor on the board of the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and was a member of the Health and Social Services Committee at the Region of Halton. She also served as Chair of the District Health Council. At the federal level, Bonnie was appointed as Chair of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health in 2001. She was re-elected to the chair by her committee colleagues four times, serving until January 2006. "This is an important portfolio and an exciting challenge" said Brown. "I look forward to working with Mr. Dion and the other member's of our team to ensure that Canadians are getting a government that reflects their priorities". Prior to this appointment Brown was Liberal critic for social development and prior to that, public health. Oakville hospital receives $1.5M from the province The Ontario government has provided Halton Healthcare Services Corporation (HHS) with $1.5 million in funding to support the expanded emergency room and outpatient care services at OakvilleTrafalgar Memorial Hospital. "We want to ensure that quality health care services are available to local residents, where they need it, when they need it" said Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn. "We are continuing to build on the work already under way to further improve access to services through new and enhanced facilities with the funding needed to support these improvements." This investment will support the expanded emergency room and outpatient care services. This means that patients will have better access to care that meets their needs, while staying close to home. "Over the past few years we have seen an increase in the number of people coming to our Emergency and Ambulatory Care Departments at OakvilleTrafalgar Memorial Hospital," said John Oliver, HHS President and CEO. "As we expected, the growth in our communities has resulted in increased pressures at the hospital. This funding announcement addresses the additional number of patients that are being treated in these departments. We appreciate the support of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Government for recognizing the impact of these pressures on our hospital."
