PAGE 10, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS New'board's first priorit1y is redevelopment of the WPH The redevelopment of the Whitby Psychiatrie Hosptial is the first priority of the facility's recently installed com- munity advisory board. In 1981, then-minister of health Bennis Tim- breli announced that the provincial government was going to spend $28 million to rennvate, ex- pand and improve the lakeshore mental health facility. Since that time, the government has put the project on the back bur- ner saying that the need to practise' fiscal restraint could not justify such a large ex- penditure. Last year, provincial government officiais said that it would be 1988 before any action is taken on the projeet. However, Henry Polak, chairman of the advisory 'board says that his group will niake a submission on the project to the gover- nment later this year. "'We're at the point where we hope a presen- tation will be made to management board (of cabinet) sometime this faîl, " he said. The board is one of 10 established throughout Ontario and its purpose is to advise the minîster of health on issue per- taining to the institution they are involved with. "Our function is to advise the minister on what we feel is géod for the hospital,"l Polak said. Polak made his coni- ments last week. during a brief meeting last Friday during which Mayor Bob Attersley was presented with the first copy of "Up Date", a publication being put out by the board. The newsletter will be circulated _to pyschiatrists, mental health care agencies and workers and others directly involved with ,the mental health care field on a quarterly basis. It wil also be sent to other interested par- ties and will outline the activities of the board.
