DELEGATION
Mr. John Rogers. York Region District Health Council re: Update
on the Status ofthe York Region District Health Council and
Request for Volunteers to serve on Various Sub-Committees
Mr. Rogers provided Council with an update on the activities of the York Region District
Health Council. He noted that in June 1992, a full Council was appointed and that it
meets monthly. Its initial focus was organizational items, including the hiring of the
Executive Director, an Aurora resident, Mr. Graham Constantine. In addition, they
focused upon evolving a Mission Statement and Strategic Plan. The first four issues that
will be addressed by the Council include acute care, long term care, mental health and
addiction and health in communities concepts. In this regard, the Council has established
three sub-committees with respect to acute and long term care and mental health and
addiction. Mr. Rogers' purpose in coming to Council this evening was to indicate that
his organization is looking for volunteers to these committees. He asked Council to draw
this to the attention of any persons who might be interested in serving. Mr. Rogers then
noted that the annual budget of the Council for 1993 is expected to be $411,000. Given
the cost of$406,000.000 spent on health care in York Region in 1990-1991, he expressed
the belief that the annual budget of the Council will be money well spent in this regard.
