Huntsville Mayor Scott Aitchison said he is looking for assurances from the hospital board and administration in order to remove a pending motion\u2014presented last month<\/a><\/span>\u2014from the council table.<\/p>\n

That motion, if passed, would tell the Province that Huntsville Council has lost confidence in the board and hospital CEO, while calling for the removal of both.<\/p>\n

The issue will be discussed at Huntsville Council\u2019s April 23 meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. at the Algonquin Theatre. The mayor said the venue was chosen because it is hoped and anticipated that a significant number of people will attend.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cWe\u2019re going to talk health care, I think the folks from Muskoka Alqonquin Health Care (MAHC) are going to come out and talk to us as well, so we want to hear from people about the hospital, what\u2019s important to them and I think we\u2019ll probably hear a number of things from people about what we should expect from the board of our hospital and what it might take for us not to pass that resolution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Aitchison said while planning for the future is important, he is also concerned about what happens to the hospital now. He said he is worried about a funding formula that is patently unfair to medium-sized hospitals and wants assurances from the hospital administration and board that they will fight alongside municipal representatives to lobby the Province to change its unfair funding methodology. He also wants assurances, again from the hospital board and administrators, that no single-siting of acute care services will take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m worried about is today the CEO or the board saying \u2018you know what, we just can\u2019t keep going this way. The Province isn\u2019t giving us enough money so we better shut down the OR [operating room] in Huntsville or Bracebridge, and to me that is the beginning of the end\u2026 it\u2019s basically single-siting by stealth,\u201d he warned. \u201cI want to be sure that we\u2019re actually working with the Province and fighting the Province together to say \u2018we don\u2019t think this is right,\u2019 those are the kind of assurances that I\u2019m looking for\u2014that the board and the administration won\u2019t do that kind of stuff and that they\u2019ll work with us to not let that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

The mayor insisted that the core services of both hospitals must be protected. \u201cThe task force is one thing; it\u2019s today that I\u2019m concerned about. I want to know that I have an ally in the board and the administration to go to the Province and say \u2018you know, our long-term debate, that\u2019s fine, we\u2019ll continue that discussion. I think that we will come out with a proposal for two acute-care sites and that\u2019s great, but today the funding formula is killing our hospital and we need to fight that battle together.'”<\/p>\n

He said if the hospital board of directors and administrators are unable to make such a commitment, he will put a slightly amended version of the previous resolution before council to be voted on. In terms of the possibility of the Province stepping in and appointing an administrator, he said it\u2019s a chance he\u2019s willing to take. \u201cI think we would have a better chance dealing with an administrator at that point, and I would take that risk because I think it\u2019s worth it to save our hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether single-siting acute-care services was a real threat, given the reaction of a great number of the community to the idea, Aitchison said there are some who believe that is exactly what should happen.<\/p>\n

He said the interim Chief of Staff at MAHC, Dr. Biagio Innantuono, who works out of South Muskoka Memorial Hospital, has said that single-siting surgical care is what should be done. \u201cThat\u2019s pretty self-serving for Biagio,\u201d said the mayor. \u201cBy the way, in this era of me-too, I have no idea how that guy could be the temporary chief of staff\u2026 talk about lack of judgment,\u201d he said, referring to a 2009 disciplinary hearing by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, in which Dr. Innantuono was reprimanded for professional misconduct. You can find that story here<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mayor also referred to a legal threat<\/a><\/span> made by the board and administration team of the hospital following a submission to Doppler<\/a>,<\/span> as ill advised. Town counsel for the mayor has since penned a response in essence stating that the mayor will continue to speak on things that are of public interest.<\/p>\n

“I’m no lawyer but I know that what I said wasn’t defamation from the beginning, so I wasn’t terribly concerned about it,” said Aitchison, adding that the threat of a legal lawsuit “speaks to the arrogance and the fear that these people operate under.”<\/p>\n

Monday night’s meeting starts at 7 pm and will be held in the Algonquin Theatre. All council meetings are public and open to everyone.<\/p>\n
