Dear Mayor Rickard:
As you are aware, the Memorial Hospital,
Bowmanville has been asked through Regional Council
to consider the appropriateness of providing for a
Regional Council appointment to the Board of Directors.
On this subject, the Hospital's Executive Director
and myself met with you in your office on April 3rd
to discuss a proposal that would accomplish this end
and maintain the Board's membership number at the
present level -- a level at which authorities on
the subject recommend as ideal. The purpose of this
communication, therefore, is to summarize our agreed
proposal so you may be in a position to obtain local
Council support. By having a Regional representative
on the Board, it would in fact ensure Regional repres-
entation on all of the Boards of Trustees in the
Durham Regional Hospitals.
At the present time, the Hospital By-laws
provide for the recommendation from local Council to
have four representatives on the Board of Directors.
This By-law was originated many years prior to the
advent of Regional Government and was written in a
manner to allow each of the Town of Bowmanville, the
Village of Newcastle, the Township of Clarke, and the
Township of Darlington to have representation. Since
Regional Government, that local system has ceased to
have local government status and therefore places that
section of the Hospital By-laws in an anachronistic
position.
Our proposal, therefore, is to ammend
Section 3(2) of the By-laws in a manner that would
provide for local Council to make recommendation for
three representatives -- one being from each of the
local wards. A fourth representative would then be
made by the Regional Council, hence retaining a total
of a sixteen member Board and having still in place
four representatives from the area Councils.
You will recall in our discussion this
process could begin as early as this year's Annual
\ /2
FULLY ACCREDITED BY THE CANADIAN COUNCIL ON HOSPITAL ACCREDITATION
Mayor Garnet Rickard
Meeting of the Hospital Corporation (June 184)
whereat the necessary By-law change could be put
through. By-law amendments must be approved by the
Minister of Health and therefore may take a further
two months. However, in the interim, Regional
Council could be in a position to obtain a potential
representative of their choice, the mechanics of
which in light of the present annual appointments
from local Council, could be worked out over the
year.
An early reply on this subject at this
time of year would be required as there are certain
protocol that must be followed in order to provide
for By-law amendments. Should you or any member
of Council have any questions or need for clarifica-
tion on any aspect of this proposal, either I or
the Executive Director of the Hospital would be
most eager to provide answers. You may be assured
that you have our support in this matter and hope
that this suggested position will be acceptable.
Sincerely,
�rGt L✓J,%��� e L�,
H. Locke
