Councilor Jeff Wesley is not very happy with the turn of events between the 3 boards that make up the Chatham Kent Health Alliance.
Board Chairs from St Joseph’s and Public General Hospitals posted a public letter to the citizens of Chatham Kent saying that Wallaceburg Hospital is not acting in the best interest of Chatham Kent, and this has raised the ire of many in Wallaceburg. Wesley says it is time that the Health Alliance look at where the biggest expenditures are and who has the biggest wait times and then make realistic cuts, and stop picking on Wallaceburg.
The Ward 5 councilor says when he was the Chair of the Sydenham Hospital the other 2 boards tried this type of tactic with him. Wesley says it didn’t work then and it won’t work this time either.
Current Board Chair Sheldon Parsons says he has always been open to sitting down and discussing options to find a resolution to the situation.
