Taking part were service clubs which have donated moey te the bospital, Wbitby Gonorai medical staff, nurses and empioyees, the hospital board of klirectors and the Save Our General Hospital (SOGH) citi- zens' comniittoo. Altbough ne one wbo spoke objected ta the addition of roba- biitatien services ta Whitby General, ail wero adamant that it not ho dono at tbe exonof acute cure sorvices. Pneo Hpspital chief of staff Dr. Brian Rteedpointed eut that local doctors bave received the back- ing of the Physicians and Sur- gecons Council of Durhami Rogion for their plan ta, retain acute cure services in Whitby. Under the doctars' proposai, there would ho a «downloading» of some in-patient and out- patient acute services from other hospitals.* This would free space in the larger hospitals in order te ailew for more* sephistcatod, high-tech cure. "The bottem lino is that wo feel the needs of patients won't ho met and closing acute cure services is wrong,» Reed said. The council, wbich includes the chiefs of staff of ail area hospitals, wants acute cure retainod at Witby, Reed added. Surgery chief Rayman said neither ho nor any othor pbygi- cian' at Whitby Gorioral were interviewed by the study consul- tants. 1 "If so, tbey wouid have been taid of tho diff»iculty in transfer- ring patients from Whitby te Oshawa or Ajax-Pickering," said Raym an. '<Evon at this timne, when tbere's traditionaiiy less demand for bods, our hespital is filled,» ho said. "I have a patient waiting 10 da's, but unfortunately surgery was cancelled laut week bocause of tbelack of bods." The oniy way Whitby residonts could ho accomodated in Oshawa or Ajax-Pickoring woldbo open- ing closed bods in those hespitals and oxpanding both facilities, Rayman said.' B ut this weuld oniy incroaso costs, whereas the study's sup- posod goal was mnaking botter use of hoalth caro dollars, ho noted. Terosa Pritchard, prosident of Local 226 af the Ontario Nurses Association, aise focussed on the financial aspect. "Wo know change must como but bew that change is affocted lies at the crux cf this issue," said Pritchard. «Do we neod more dollars thrawn at the system?» she asked. "Ne, it's bew the monoy is allocated that will make a dif- ferencAL Pýitchard claimed goverment bureaucrats are ton concernod with the «bottam lino» and have lest sigbt of wbat boalth cars nisans. «We've cernpromised the qua- litŽy of aur bealth cars," she said. "Statistics are net like people who neod care...statistics don't pay taxes, people do.» Pritcbard's feeling were sbared by JoAnne Prout of, SOGH. UflV5 net the administrators or bureaucrats wo shouid look te for guidance, but the cars givers, tbe doctors and nurses who know best,» said Prout. Since bier group began its carn- pai uta save Whitby General it bas garnered the support .of more people than vote in a municipal eloction," Prout said, roforring te the diffrent-graups wbich have endorsed its offarts. A petition witb more than 15,000 namnes te date will be resented te Heath Minister Rutb Grier, Prout said. But she conceded that SOGH's goal of a full-service, active treat- ment facility will bo difficuit te achieve. «It's net boon sucb from the day it opened," said Prout. It bas, however, during its 25 years of operation, offered more services than it does today,» she said. uThoso services bave been slowvly eradod, tberoby making it eusior ta justify closure.» Rick O'Shea, president of Local 3Q8' of the Canadýian Union of Pdblic Employees, echod Prout's warning. "Ruth Grier is clear in her mandate,"»*,said O'Shea, head of the hospital's non-medical employoes. "If something is not dons by the region (health council) she couid actually close Whitby Gèneral,» he'said. f'The oniy way to beat them is ta stick tegether.» Followin~ the meeting Edwards said the session haâ served its purpose. t "Our intent was improve. communications and we heard somo cogent arguments about wby the bospital sbouid retain acute cars services,» hoe said. Edwards said hoe was hopeful that community groups wbich have net yet responded to the heaith council study will do se beoe the Aug. 1 deadline. In fact, Town counicil will be providing a more "sopbisticated and comipréhensive" response te the study than the position it took last month, Edwards notod. But in order te do se, Whitby officiais require additional infor- mation frem the health council, wbich Edwards bas roquested. Prout aiso felt. the meeting was productive. «Any time we can give this issue an airing is gonýd,» she said. "What we accomplished tonight is te show thore is unity in keeping the bospital as an acute care fàcility.» 77' I Noic I otn D Iaw Dundas Street East Reconstruction Between Brock Street and Hickory Street Contract W94-9 The Town ot Whitby and the Region of Durham under the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Woks Program wuiI be reconstructing Dundas Street (Highway #2) including replacement ef. sanitary and storm sewers, watermains, and asphait pavement ln the above referenced locations, Thd works are schoduled te commence the week of August 1, 11994,-ahd ,xtend for a ton (10) week duration ur.tiI October 7, 1994, or theroabouts.
