 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The potential amalgamation<\/a>\u00a0of hospitals in Peterborough and Lindsay will have a negative impact on patient care, an official from Ontario Health Coalition says.<\/p>\n

Natalie Mehra, executive director of OHC, spoke at forum Thursday night regarding\u00a0the proposed amalgamation<\/a>\u00a0of Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) and\u00a0Ross Memorial Hospital<\/a>\u00a0(RMH).<\/p>\n

About 25 citizens attended the meeting, which was held at the Peterborough Lions Community Centre. It was held to let citizens know what the watchdog group thinks will likely to happen if PRHC and the Ross integrate.<\/p>\n

Executives at both hospitals<\/a>\u00a0have proposed the merger to Central East Local Health Integration Network, which oversees PRHC and the Ross. No one from either hospital was at the meeting.<\/p>\n

\n
A final decision has to be approved by both PRHC and RHM boards, the board of directors for the\u00a0Central East Local Health Integration Network<\/a>\u00a0and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There’s no word yet on when that decision will come.<\/p>\n

Mehra said nothing good can come from the amalgamation \u2013 in fact, it’ll hurt communities.<\/p>\n

“It’s really the death of the community hospital as we know it,” she said.<\/p>\n

When hospitals merge, their services get rationed between the sites to avoid duplication, Mehra said.<\/p>\n

For example, all long-term-care beds are moved to one site, or all surgeries are moved to one site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
That means, patients have to drive from one city to another to get services that were once offered in their community, Mehra said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

OHC works with organizations and community groups to save local hospitals from closure, or to protect services. Mehra has been with the organization for 18 years.<\/p>\n

During that time, she said she’s witnessed many amalgamations and they always end up consolidating services to one site.<\/p>\n

“This has happened every single place that there has been an amalgamation in Ontario.”<\/p>\n

PRHC already has a serious problem, Mehra said. The hospital is already running at 100 per cent capacity most of the time. If PRHC starts treating people from outside the area, that means an even higher volume of patients.<\/p>\n

“Nobody from Peterborough benefits from that.”<\/p>\n

The plan for services isn’t clear, Mehra said. Hospital executives have remained tight lipped in that regard, she said.<\/p>\n

“If they won’t make a clear promise to maintain all the existing services in each town, then people should get very, very concerned indeed.”<\/p>\n

And that is the biggest concern for Roy Brady, the chairman of OHC’s Peterborough chapter.<\/p>\n

At a public meeting earlier this year, Brady said he asked both PRHC’s CEO Dr. Peter McLaughlin and RMH’s CEO Dr. Bert Lauwers about losing hospital services.<\/p>\n

“They could not guarantee that services would not be transferred,” Brady said.<\/p>\n

The motivation to blend the hospitals is money, Brady and Mehra said.<\/p>\n

But it actually costs more money to amalgamate, Mehra said.<\/p>\n

Phone systems and computer systems need to be linked and then there’s the renaming and rebranding. Amalgamations then must be marketed to the public.<\/p>\n

“So, the public is paying tax payer money to sell this to themselves \u2013 it’s really outrageous. And all that money comes from frontline care, and services,” she said.<\/p>\n

A recent hospital merger in Durham Region and Scarborough cost $50 million and won’t see savings for more than 30 years, Mehra said.<\/p>\n

So, what does an amalgamation mean for the residents of Peterborough?<\/p>\n

Uncertainty, according to Brady, and the threat of services being transferred from one hospital to another.<\/p>\n

“Otherwise they’d just have two hospitals. There wouldn’t be any change. So, something has to happen and we’re concerned about that,” he said.<\/p>\n
