Bureaucracy

smarting over the fact that a
doctor had yet to be appointed
to the board, even though
doctors had submitted their
choice to represent them two
months before Best was turfed.

Doctors said Best’s dis-
missal highlighted the lack of
consultation between the
health board which runs Lions
Gate Hospital and the people
who work in the $100-mil-
lion-a-year facility.

Doctors asked for
Schamberzki’s _ resignation
and said they had lost confi-
dence in the health board.

Hutchinson and the board
backed their CEO, saying she
was implementing board poli-
cies and acting with the
knowledge and authority of
the board.

Hutchinson said the dis-
missals, melding of human
resources and administrative
tasks in the region and the cre-
ation of community health cen-
tres are changes aimed at con-
tinuing to offer quality services.

“These are the first steps
we have to take to create effi-

more accessible for people,”
she said.

But Jarvis said the NDP’s
New Direction’s regionaliza-
tion plan failed completely,
costing the province millions.
He also questions local board
choices such as setting up a
new office on Esplanade when
others, such as former hospital
CEO Smith, beiieve there was
room at the hospital for health
board administrative offices.

Speaking of regionaliza-
tion, Jarvis said: “It appears
that it’s going to create more
bureaucracy. An unbelievable
bureaucracy because it is
being divided into three sec-
tions, west, central and cast.
And that is all going to
require housing and costs to
run it.”

He said the health ministry
has announced it will move
5,000 ministry staff to region-
al areas.

“We know we are going to
get some people from
Victoria,” he said.

“We're not any better off
than we were five, six years
ago. In fact, it’s getting

worse,” he said, citing longer
surgical lineups at the hospital.

“It’s spreading our health
care too thin, all for the sake
of supposedly getting closer
to the community,” said
Jarvis.

“If the wheel isn’s breken
don’t try to fix it. It was a
matter of costs and they could
have handled the costs more
expertly than they have done
in the last few years rather
than go to a whole revised sys-
tem that is now in a state of
constant flux on the North
Shore.

“I can’t see where (region-
alization) is going to be a ben-
efit. They have yet to prove it
to me.”

And the leather chairs?
Three of them were purchased
by Schamborzki in August
1996 for $999 a piece for the
new administrative officers.
The purchase was criticized by
irate taxpayers, but defended
by Schamberzki as the best

investment given the chairs’
low maintenance, comfort
and durability.

Although the criticism can
be seen as mere niggling, the
episode reveals the atmos-
phere of public scrutiny and
even skepticism the board is
operating under.

Meanwhile, Hutchinson
said the board’s progress has
been systematic. In the future,
the region will continue co try
to work with doctors to create
a better health system for the
North Shore, she said.

“It’s a tough time because
we are trying to change how
we deliver our health services
on the North Shore and we
are communicating with the
community and trying to get
our message out.

“We are working very hard
to do thar.”
