Locals short-changed?

Dear Editor:

When it comes to health care
funding by the provincial gov-
ernment the people in North Van-
couver are being short-changed.

Community health services are
provided to the residents on the
North Shore by the North Shore
Health Department governed by
the North Shore Union Board of
Health. The board is composed of
representatives from the funding
partners, i.e. the City of North
Vancouver, the District of North
Vancouver, the District of West
Vancouver and Schoo! District #44.
(They also provide som: services to
School District .¢5, West
Vancouver.)

The funding is derived from
contribution from the municipal
partners, the school district and
the province of B.C. through the
Minis‘ry of Health.

Seventeen health units in B.C.
are 100 per; cent funded by the
province; five others receive fun-
ding under cost-sharing agree-
ments, But the contributions of the

province to North Van are far
lower than they are to roost other
areas. As a result, staffing levels
and expenditures are lower.

The result is that the North
Shore Union Board of Health:

© pays a much higher share of
preventive programming, vis a vis
the province when compared to
other health departments.

® supports all community mental
health treatment programs out of
municipal dollars a service
funded by the province in every
other jurisdiction.

This, of course, has a very
detrimental effect on the North
Shore Union Board of Health and
what it can do. This great injusies &
to the residents of the North
Shore, the majority of whom
diligently voted Socred, has been
brought to the attention of the
government numerous times, but;
so far, no action has been forth-
coming, and the result is higher
taxes and lower services for North #
Shore residents.

might not be aware that significant
shifte in consumer preference,
distribution and attitudes towards
foreign imports open the way for
smaller Canadian manufacturers
of all kinds.

for you. You make it really hard
for the disabled to try to be in-

No, | am not one of these af-
fected persons, except when I am
