Reaching’ this goal means the board is commit- ted to promoting community dis- cussion and debate on the health issues which are important to the people living on the North Shore. At the July 25 board meeting, a series of principles for public participation, coalitions and partnerships were - adopted, These were developed by _ the board’s Community Development and Communication Task Group. “a “The board wants everyone.to parti- cipate in developing the North Shore’s health plan,” says Diana. Hutchinson, chair of the North Shore. Health Board. “Ultimately, it is the board’s responsibility to weigh and integrate the advice it receives from many sources as it makes decisions” on behalf of the whole community. {tis important to make decisions that-reflect the community’s vision ‘for health.” The board promotes involvement through partnerships, community coalitions, and relationships with service providers. One way that the NSHB partners with other agencies is’. through its involvement with the ._ Community Services Network. In an upcoming strategic planning process : network, the NSHB will participate in“ a discussion about integrating services . ’ in order to address. the changing er en- vironment for community social , services.

They recommend- ed that health planning and care be managed and delivered at.a regional and local level. At a recent meeting with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry Responsible for Seniors, the North Shore Health Board was asked a number of questions concerning the impact of regionalization. One of the. questions was “in your opinion, what are the biggest challenges to the , process of regionalization?” The - board would like to. know what, YOU - think the major opportunities and” , challenges are as. we move {o ° we _Tegionalizing health on the North °: _ Shore.
