Local Con.cern about hospital ,redirect By MikeKowalski An order which briefly directed ambulances away from Oshawa General Hsital last ek hma causod concern locally. JoAnne Prout, co-chair of the Save Our General Hospital (SOGH) citizens' committee, said Oshawa's emergency departmnent tomporarily reaching capacity undéeores the need for a general hospital in.Whitby. .ThIe incident further demon- strates the folly ofa proposai now before the Ontario govern. ment to do away with acute care services at Wbîitby, Prout. con- tends. About-2 p.m. last Wednesday, area ,ambulance .services were told not to brng patients te Oshawa General because there were no available beds in the hospitals emergency depart- ment. Ambulances were re-directed to other hosptals i the area for approximiatey two hours said, Oshawa Generaljpublic relations officer Glendene Cllins. However, emergency patients arriving at the hospital by other means were not turned away, Collins said. .8h. did notlcnow how many, if any, people came into the emer- gency departmnent during this time or ifambulances that for- mally would have gone to Osh- awa, went olsewhere. UIt raises the question that if they (Oshawa General officiais) have to do it now, prior te any stops being put into place to counteract the closing in Whitbye what happons when it (closing) occursr asked Prout. "This. shows the whole thing (poposaI) bas not been properly thouglit out," she added. A recent Durham ReV'on Dis- trict Health Councif study recommended that Whitby General become a rehabilitation treatment centre serving ail of Durham Region. Wbitby residents in need of ernergency service of eurgery woud g toexpanded hospiîtals in Oshawa or Ajax, the study sugIgests. The report is now before Health Minster Ruth Grier. Numerous telephone calle to Grier's office te, determine the report's statua proved futile. Moanwbile, last Wednesdaye issuance of the ambulance re- direct order was the first time Oshawa General had te, take such action, Colline said. She decined comment on whether hospital officiais expect similar problems in the future. Wbitby General Hospital vice- president Marc Keàley said Whitby roceivod notification tc posZlyezpect additions] emer- gency cases. But he did not know if any ol tbe ambulances had been ro- directed from Oshawa. 27 New school1wil have nodfied year calendar
