WHEREAS Public Health funding has traditionally been cost-shared between
municipalities and the province of Ontario; and
WHEREAS there is a continued, if not greater need to ensure province-wide
standards, programs, protective services and coordination, especially in the areas
of communicable disease control and immunization; and
WHEREAS local autonomous boards of health have historically ensured local
accountability and implementation of protective and preventive services and
programs; and
WHEREAS the provincial government has recently proposed to fund and
delegate the responsibility and liability for public health solely onto municipalities;
and
WHEREAS the Commissioners of Who Does What Advisory Panel and the
Health Services Restructuring Commission have both strongly supported a
continuing provincial role in the funding and provision of public health services
and programs; and
WHEREAS 100 percent municipal funding would not allow for the province to
enforce or ensure the presence or equitable delivery of essential public health
programs and protective services, which in itself poses a potential hazard to the
citizens of this province.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
8
The Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte requests that the Minister of
Community and Social Services, the Minister of Health and the Minister of
Housing and Municipal Affairs amend the previous funding proposal to 100 per
cent provincial funding of public health services, with local boards of health
remaining in place to ensure programs are planned, delivered and implemented
consistent with local need; and
That copies of this correspondence be sent to: the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, the Association of Local Public Health Agencies (ALPHA), the Ontario
Public Health Association (OPHA), the Simcoe County District Health Unit, and
other appropriate parties.
Carried.
