| 205 | Elizabeth Plowright | I think this is an extremely vital service that should not be lost. I feel this will have a major impact on the community. |

| 213 | John Melinz | It's time we kept some hospital money in Kincardine rather than sending everything to Walkerton. |
| 214 | Anonymous | These services must continue to be offered in the public domain at the local hospital in Kincardine. I look forward to the reversal of this decision. |
| 215 | Marisa Forsyth | Keep the Physiotherapy services public. Stop the bleeding of healthcare services to Private-for-Profit companies. Enough is enough!! |

| 223 | Steve Hasbury | I am due to have my shoulder repaired as a result of a motor vehicle accident. The recovery involves extensive physiotherapy. The insurance settlement was baed on the fact that this would be available. If it's not I won't be able to afford the operation. I'm going to sue someone - maybe everyone involved in this mess |
| 224 | John & Kay de Boer | We have considered moving to Kincardine but with the cutbacks and costs of travel to get medical care, it doesn't seem to be a vialble option at this time. |

| 226 | Gwen Buchanan | Living in a rural community - we should not have to travel to larger areas to receive physiotherapy. This department should remain in Kincardine. |
| 227 | Anonymous | DE-AMALGAMATION is the only answer and get rid of Davies for good and the Board!! |
| 228 | d. robertson | this is so stupid, just another money grab from thr people who can lwast afford it.....dum |
| 229 | Kevin M. Klerks | Like amalgamating the communities uniting the hospitals together has clearly not been the success they implied it would be. We need to break away from LHINs and South Bruce/Grey and go back to being independent. |
| 230 | David Hannay | Currently I must travel 100 miles to my physician because none is available for me as a new resident of Kincardine area. Loss of covered physio benefits locally will not enhance the chances of new physicians being attracted to Kincardine. It's certainly a regressive move forced upon such a progressive community. Let's make it an issue at the time of the next provincial election.
Recent changes in MOH remuneration policy for pharmacies providing compliance packaging for Ontario Drug Benefit recipients is similarly counter-productive to health enhancement. What are the Liberals' reasons for reducing such services? |
| 231 | Anonymous | Kincardine hospital has already lost too much to other area hospitals. There is no reason to lose our physiotherapy department. Has Kincardine hospital turned all of its attention to the art of making money? My sister was a nurse there for over 17 years and finally quit due to the inadequacies that the Kincardine hospital provide not only for patients but staffing as well. Kincardine is an aging community that does not have the ability to travel for treatment. Is this why the privatized group wants to move in? So the weak and unable have no other choice but to give in to corporate bullying? Who GAINS in the process? |
| 232 | Lara Kiedyk | The bottom line should be caring for patients, not money! |
| 233 | Paul Major PT | I work in a small rural hospital outpatient department.
PT Health has just made a lease agreement with the hospital to use a building off site. A little different tactic but I fear the end result will be the same. For now I remain employed. This battle needs to go to the province, so we can close the door on these private opportunist. |

| 235 | Deanna Rush | This is a necessary service that keeps our elderly independent and functioning in their own homes. |
| 236 | Sally Martin | I am a physiotherapist working in a small hospital where physiotherapy is still covered. there is a significant need in the community for these services. It makes no sense to shorten the waiting times for hips and knees if people do not have acess to physiotherapy post-op. |
| 237 | Loretta Bourke | As a physiotherapist I am very concerned with how outpatient physiotherapy services are always one of the first to be cut when hospitals are facing a deficet. With evidence supporting our cost effectiveness within the health care setting it is difficult to understand the reasoning behind the cuts Many orthopedic surgeries would not be effective without the out patient services of physiotherapy . In our community 70% of our clients do not have insurance coverage and would go without care if the PT was not part of the global budget
This strategy of closing publically funded outpatient physiotherapy is in direct opposition to the aging at home strategies that are very prominent for the LHINS at this time. Not all patients qualify for CCAC and since outpatient services are more cost effective than in home care I am concerned why there is no strategy to support these services. |
| 238 | Jill McIllwraith | A recent announcement of now laying off physiotherapists from the 3 other hospitals in South Bruce Grey Health Services to let the private company can only erode our health care in this area. |
