The council chamber was packed Monday night as those in attendance anxiously awaited the results of a much-talked about motion of non-confidence in the hospital board and CAO, calling for the dismissal of both.<\/p>\n

Had the motion<\/span><\/a> been passed, it would have effectively asked the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care to disband the hospital board, and allow both the Huntsville and Bracebridge hospitals to revert back to being two separate entities with their own board and administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fully understand a municipal council wanting to protect an institution of importance, but the manner in which you are trying to make your case is disappointing,” said Evelyn Brown, chair of the board of Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC), which oversees both the Huntsville and Bracebridge hospitals. \u201cYou have unfairly criticized hard working and dedicated people using misinformation and defamatory comments. The motion asks for MAHC to be dissolved, should this motion convince the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to step in, the Ministry will appoint a supervisor, taking all the decision-making power out of the community\u2019s hands,\u201d warned Brown of the motion before council.<\/p>\n

Huntsville Mayor Scott Aitchison<\/p><\/div>\n

The threat of having to contend with a Ministry-appointed supervisor was not the only one made that evening. Huntsville Mayor Scott Aitchison briefly shared with those present that he had received a letter just minutes before the start of council, threatening him and the Town of Huntsville with legal action for comments made in his submission to Doppler<\/span>.<\/a> News of the legal letter resulted in jeers from many of those present, but the mayor said he was not \u201cterribly concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cameron Renwick, hospital board member and chair of the Capital Plan Development Task Force<\/a><\/span>, appointed by the hospital board to make a recommendation on a preferred future hospital model, reiterated throughout his presentation to council that the task force has not made a decision.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

The task force is made up of 25 people from MAHC\u2019s catchment area, including five from the hospital\u2019s senior administration and two from the hospital\u2019s board. Renwick spoke to council about the task force\u2019s work to date and its work ahead as it prepares to recommend one of three hospital models to the hospital board.<\/p>\n

Throughout his presentation, he also assured those present that the task force is listening to the community. He said just because the single hospital model is an option, and the task force has been told not to remove it from the table, \u201cdoes not automatically mean that it will be selected.\u201d He said the task force has spent most of its time focused on the two, two-site hospital models and has put the one-site model on the back burner.<\/p>\n

Renwick said as a result of community input, the two-site models have been modified to include 24\/7 emergency departments at both sites. \u201cWhen feedback called for acute-care services at both sites, the two acute-care site model again was modified to include emergency, obstetrics and critical care and surgery at both sites\u2014again I say to you that our task force was listening. The task force has only just reached consensus on the programs and services in each of the two-site models and has not been afforded the full opportunity to share it with our broader community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Renwick said the task force is very close to completing its work, \u201cand I\u2019m going to ask you please to allow me as chair and allow our task force to complete this most important work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown added that she believes people across the region want two acute-care sites but said she does not believe that the majority of the community has lost confidence in the leadership of MAHC.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf championing the two-site model for the future is at the heart of your motion, then I implore council to defer the resolution and allow the task force to complete its work,\u201d said Brown. \u201cWe acknowledge that this is an extremely incredible and complex task and we will work together to answer any and all questions that you may have and we would welcome an opportunity to meet with you face-to-face for further dialogue,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Deputy Mayor Karin Terziano asked whether the board still has a one-site model on the books, since it announced that it favoured one hospital in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes it is if you say \u2018on the books,\u2019\u201d responded Brown. \u201cIt was in the pre-capital submission that we made. There was a two-year gap before we heard from the Ministry, they had lots of questions, and then what we got back from the Ministry was to review\/refresh the three options\u2026 So, although you may feel that it has some influence it doesn\u2019t because once we signed that new contract, we were into a whole new agreement with the Ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n

If councillors were hoping to get Brown to say that the hospital board would join in lobbying the Province to comply with what the majority of the community wants, she didn\u2019t bite.<\/p>\n

Councillor Jason FitzGerald, referring to comments about the Ministry and the LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) being asked whether to take the single hospital model off the table, asked when asking would turn into telling the Ministry what the community\u2019s wishes are. \u201cWhen do we tell them what we want, rather than ask them,\u201d he questioned to applause from many of those present.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a board, under the health act, we can\u2019t ask, we have to follow, just as I\u2019m sure you do in many of your municipal dealings with ministries\u2014you follow their plan,\u201d responded Brown, adding that both the mayors of Huntsville and Bracebridge \u201chave lobbied at the political level to do that very thing.\u201d In short, she said \u201cthe telling of government is at the political level and so we are doing the best with what we\u2019ve been given. They\u2019re [Province] very, very aware of what the community has spoken about and what is acceptable\u2026 but your question is answered at the political level,\u201d she told FitzGerald.<\/p>\n

Aitchison thanked members of the board for attending the council meeting. \u201cIf in fact the board is prepared to work with us closer and meet with us to discuss some of these things, like the issue of the 2015 recommendation, and possibly working closer together to lobby the Province together, I would be prepared to ask council to table this motion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aitchison said tabling the motion meant that it would simply be put on hold to see if council is able to first reach an understanding with the board.<\/p>\n

Brown welcomed that suggestion. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing hidden here, we are following what we are instructed to do with the best tools that we have at hand. So, I thank you for that Mayor Aitchison and we\u2019ll await to hear from you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Council then turned its attention to the motion. Councillor Bob Stone said he had reservations about it. \u201cI have no tangible evidence that the CEO or the board have a clandestine agenda but the poor communication and closed door discussion have left everyone worried, including thousands of people on social media,\u201d he said, adding that by presenting the motion a message has been sent loud and clear \u201cthat the people and this council are prepared to do anything it takes to keep two acute-care facilities. I am not convinced that the CEO and the board have manipulated the process,\u201d said Stone who voted in favour of tabling the motion.<\/p>\n

Councillor Dan Armour urged for better communication. He said it seems not much has changed since the board of MAHC passed a resolution in favour of a single site in 2015. \u201cFor the last three years it\u2019s like they\u2019ve been treading water and not going anywhere\u2026 we need more communication from them and people need to know in which direction they\u2019re heading,\u201d he said. \u201cI think the secretiveness is what\u2019s causing the uproar, more than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, a majority of council agreed to put the motion on pause, at least until its council meeting in April. Among those present at the meeting were municipal representatives north of Huntsville as well as former Huntsville mayors, with reserved seating for each one.<\/p>\n

I hope you like this site and don't be shy about pitching me a story.","url":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/author\/tamaradelavega\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
