JENNIFER HAMILTON-MCCHARLES, THE NUGGET<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPublic health advocates are calling on members of the Mayor\u2019s Roundtable on Mental Health and Addictions to stop hiding behind a veil of secrecy when it comes to dealing with the city\u2019s mental health and addiction services.<\/p>\n
Ontario Health Coalition, Nickel Belt MPP and NDP health critic France Gelinas and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions came out Monday asking why hospital cuts are being made with no plan to deal with major service gaps, as well as the lack of public information from the mayor\u2019s roundtable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only thing that has been done is a cut of $1 million in funding from the North Bay Regional Health Centre. That money is slated to be transferred to an array of community groups, but there\u2019s no plan to deal with any of the gaps in hospital services,\u201d said Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis process was run by so-called stakeholders, most of them from community organizations. The problem is we\u2019re not clear whether anyone who might have been in a conflict of interest voted on the transfer of funds. Did they remove themselves from the vote and discussion? And why hasn\u2019t a report from the mayor\u2019s roundtable been made public? Nobody knows.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mehra attended a media conference held at the Canadian Union of Public Employees\u2019 office on Lakeshore Drive Monday morning to raise concerns that there has been no evidence provided to support the closure of 31 hospital-based addiction treatment beds in June in favour of a community services model.<\/p>\n
The changes were recommended last year by community organizations involved in a study by Dr. Brian Rush, which examined services in the community and were involved in the mayor\u2019s roundtable.<\/p>\n
Community organizations say the study determined the city has a surplus of residential treatment beds while it lacks an array of other services.<\/p>\n
But Mehra disagrees. She says there was no evidence in the Rush report to say the hospital isn\u2019t providing the right services.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, the Rush report talked repeatedly about the important programs at the North Bay Regional Health Centre. The report also identified gaps in services at the hospital that were significant, such as no services for acute intoxication,\u201d Mehra said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is happening now, the plans that are underway isn\u2019t what was recommended in that report. In fact, the publicly available evidence shows that North Bay needs more hospital beds and that the cuts to the North Bay hospital have already gone far too far. There is also an increasingly serious opioid addiction crisis in the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur concern is that hospital services continue to be cut in an effort to save money, not because they\u2019re going to offer better clinical care, but because it\u2019s better for the hospital\u2019s bottom line. The evidence in North Bay at this time is that these services are needed and there are people who are waiting for residential treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mehra questions the process that led to these decisions and the lack of transparency.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re extremely concerned about the actual needs of the patients on the wait lists. And when it comes to wait lists, well those are going to skyrocket.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli said he is \u201cvery confident the health-care professionals\u201d have done what they consider best for the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just union pushback,\u201d Fedeli said.<\/p>\n
The health-care professionals, he said, have presented \u201can excellent plan\u201d and he doesn\u2019t need \u201canyone from Sudbury coming to North Bay\u201d to tell the local community \u201chow to do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not taking any advice from the NDP\u201d on how health-care should be run, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny gaps (in the health-care system) will be smoothed out\u201d of the \u201clocally driven initiative.<\/p>\n
Gelinas weighed in saying the North Bay hospital is known across the province for the quality of care it provides in psychiatry and addictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something to be very proud of,\u201d she said. \u201cBut now you\u2019re going to take that away to try to fund other parts of the continuum of care that the city doesn\u2019t have and I say no to that. What this city needs is new money.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said although you hear a lot about the (Doug) Ford government cutting programs and services, the province has committed $3.8 billion in mental health and addiction services.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what we have to do is make sure some of that funding comes here to North Bay so you can build that continuum of care especially on the community side that is missing, so nobody falls through the cracks,\u201d Gelinas said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo think you can take money from a program in the hospital and there will not be any lag time where people will not fall through the cracks is ludicrous.\u201d<\/p>\n
