So through the chair. 47 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,020 I'm going to walk to a presentation here. 48 00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:44,100 Okay, so this presentation is really just intended to give you a general overview of our annual service funding budget submission to the Ministry of Health for 2023. 49 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,740 Some of this will be a refresher from the orientation session in January. 50 00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:56,620 I'll walk through the process and then we discuss the request that administration is currently recommending the included. 51 00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:08,690 So our annual service plan and budget submissions, so this is quite an extensive document that's required to be submitted to the Ministry, no later than April 3rd, 2023 this year. 52 00:05:09,030 --> 00:05:14,350 Usually it's due March 1st if it due to timing of the Ministry providing the templates they've given us a month's extension. 53 00:05:15,290 --> 00:05:24,050 This document is one of the key elements of the accountability framework that it falls under the organizational requirements of the Ontario Public Health Standards. 54 00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:32,250 So the purpose of this document is normally to describe the complete picture of programs and services being delivered by the Health Unit. 55 00:05:32,670 --> 00:05:41,410 It demonstrates that programs and services align with the priorities of our communities and it demonstrates accountability for planning and use of the funding by a program. 56 00:05:45,450 --> 00:05:51,990 So for the actual contents, this slide just gives you the sections and the components that we are that are required. 57 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:57,770 So we do have to do a community assessment, which includes local population health issues, priority populations. 58 00:05:58,430 --> 00:06:02,930 Program plans including summary details on community needs and priorities, key partners, 59 00:06:03,170 --> 00:06:11,650 stakeholders, programs and services that the Board of Health plans to deliver under each standard and public health interventions within each program. 60 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,500 And then of course the budget submission for each program is included in here. 61 00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:26,740 We do have the opportunity to ask for one time funding request, and we provide information on the Board of Health Membership of Fortunatelyment of Costs in a Certification Section. 62 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:40,380 So our annual service funded budget submission for programming is directly linked to the budget that we present to the Board in November of every year. 63 00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:46,120 But in addition to the base budget, there is also an opportunity to request additional funding from the Ministry. 64 00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:52,520 So, when we're considering the request that we bring forward here, we always look at, as 65 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,560 administration, we look at the program pressures that we are currently facing, where we 66 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,840 feel additional funding with assist us in meeting the updated standards, while continuing 67 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:02,960 to fit within the guidelines provided by the Ministry. 68 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,040 So, to date, the Ministry has not given us guidance on based funding requests. 69 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,280 In the past, they provided specific instructions that we were allowed to ask for five requests. 70 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Some years, it was made clear that there would be no base funding available, and other years 71 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,480 they've told us that we were going to get a 1%. 72 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,340 So we're still waiting for that. 73 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:29,300 We have, however, been told verbally, that the province does intend to reinvest the Ontario 74 00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:35,120 Senior's dental care, previous capital allotments, into the operating budget. 75 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,160 So we do know that there will be potential for some increases in that area. 76 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,960 The funding direction that we've been given, again, the change to cost sharing arrangements 77 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,160 still remains in place, and they have guaranteed the mitigation funding for this year. 78 00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:53,120 So I do always like to highlight that to you. 79 00:07:55,580 --> 00:08:01,720 So for these funding, again, they haven't given us the guidance on the base funding increase. 80 00:08:02,060 --> 00:08:07,560 In past years, we have put in specific increases, like we'll put in a request to a directly address 81 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,420 major increases. We've done programming requests for a street outreach 82 00:08:12,420 --> 00:08:19,460 positions. The smoke free Ontario act legislation changes and some funding we had 83 00:08:19,460 --> 00:08:25,360 asked for around the vision program. This year what we are recommending is putting 84 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:31,500 in a 5% base funding increase. Now that amount is consistent with the 85 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:36,060 increase to the municipal levy so there will not be an additional impact to the 86 00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:40,340 municipalities at this point, we would be asking the province to match what the municipalities 87 00:08:40,340 --> 00:08:47,520 have contributed as a percentage wise, so that would amount to $481,000, and that would 88 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,380 bring our total base budget, potentially, to $10,115,000 approximately. 89 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,560 I will note that, obviously, we're going to put this forward, we don't have any approval 90 00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:04,540 from the Ministry for this, our budget that we presented to the board was without this request. 91 00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:09,700 We have identified cost-saving measures, we have identified efficiencies to make up for that, 92 00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:14,300 but if we were to get the 5% from the ministry, we would then bring information back to the board 93 00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:17,780 on how we would use that money and how it would be applied in our budget. 94 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,980 The Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program, so this is the program that provides comprehensive dental care 95 00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:31,320 to eligible low income seniors to help reduce unnecessary trips to the hospital, 96 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,320 Product chronic disease and increase quality of life for seniors, this is another 100% 97 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,900 provincially funded program, so any increase to this budget does not impact the municipal 98 00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:46,920 levee. I already noted that we do know that they plan to re-embeve and have pulled dollars 99 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:54,360 into operating, so there is opportunity here, and I would note that our health unit in particular 100 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,640 is anticipating high demand for this program. We've also noted through discussions with other health 101 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:05,460 units and that the original operating budget we had wouldn't be sufficient just given the increased 102 00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:11,960 rates from dentists along with some specialty services including denture provision. 103 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:20,200 So we are looking at the request in this one is actually for 494 or 500 and we can there's 104 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,580 a memo that's associated with that but it is really to support the dentists fees and avoid 105 00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:27,940 putting people on weight less for that program. 106 00:10:30,690 --> 00:10:39,770 Our one-time funding request, so this year, the Ministry has applied a limit of eight one-time funding requests, and they have provided specific categories. 107 00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:47,450 So the categories that they provided that are listed on this screen, we have the COVID-19 extraordinary costs, our COVID-19 vaccine program. 108 00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:58,950 They have a capital bucket that is up to a million dollar capital projects, and they have other requirements that must be completed before March 31, 109 00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:06,830 of 2024 and it has to extend the life or improve the capital assets. 110 00:11:07,610 --> 00:11:17,130 We've got the needle serene program, vaccine refrigerators, the PHI practice come and then there is one called extraordinary cost, 111 00:11:17,230 --> 00:11:20,610 which is anything over and above our approved budget. 112 00:11:20,770 --> 00:11:27,850 So a lot of what health units put in outside of the very specific defined ones fall under extraordinary cost. 113 00:11:28,850 --> 00:11:32,830 We've used that for outbreaks, as an example in the past. 114 00:11:33,170 --> 00:11:36,510 And then category for smoke free Ontario enforcement tablets, 115 00:11:37,210 --> 00:11:42,630 we will not be asking for that, but I do list it on the slide for you. 116 00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:46,910 So, and just to note that everything that we put in this one time funding request 117 00:11:46,910 --> 00:11:49,330 are 100% funded by the Ministry. 118 00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:54,930 And with the exception of COVID and COVID-19 vaccine programs, 119 00:11:54,930 --> 00:12:05,630 These are all April 1st, 2023 to March 31st, 2024 programs that would be going on, so we do have time depending on when we get the approval to spend some of that money. 120 00:12:06,570 --> 00:12:11,910 So I'll now go through each one of our requests and you will have a report associated with each of that. 121 00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:22,590 And then once I'm done now, we can go back to the regular agenda, walk through each report, and we have a lot of members of management here and senior leadership to answer any questions you have. 122 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,280 So the first point I want to talk about is the roof and flashing repairs. 123 00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:34,120 This is a report to, we're requesting that this be submitted to replace the shingles 124 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,080 and replace the flashing around the skylights. 125 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,640 The estimate of this time is $320,000. 126 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,800 So in 2022, we did a significant project for the Windows Insiding 127 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:52,160 and the contractors and subsequent we had architects and engineers here looking 128 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,900 at it to determine that this project should also be completed. 129 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,360 It's a significant capital project, but it is one that's deemed necessary to us from 130 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,960 a risk and financial perspective. 131 00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:07,800 We have reported this to the previous board through the facility reports for several years, 132 00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:12,140 noting that it would be that it wasn't upcoming need. 133 00:13:13,740 --> 00:13:18,560 So with this report, we are also requesting this as a little bit different than the other reports 134 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:24,800 that we move to the tender process immediately, so this project is required to do to the nature 135 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,640 of work and the timing, it needs to be completed before winter. So we are asking the board 136 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,700 to approve that we go to tender. Once we received the tender back, we would then come back 137 00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:42,140 to the board to discuss next steps on that. But it is administration's intention at this time 138 00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:47,840 to carry forward with this project, depending on the results of the tender, in advance 139 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,000 of the ministry funding because we don't know when the ministry announcement will come for us. 140 00:13:55,500 --> 00:14:00,980 So just slide the COVID-19 extraordinary and COVID vaccine budgets are once again a significant 141 00:14:00,980 --> 00:14:06,780 portion of our annual request, provincial direction, along with the local situation, because 142 00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:09,520 significantly changed the budgets that would be required. 143 00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:14,440 The estimated amounts on this slide are what we know right now and are planning to be prepared 144 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,860 in the event that a surge occurs and we need to mobilize more staff. 145 00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:28,220 But these are specifically extraordinary costs over and above the Board of Health's existing funding for January 1st to December 31st. 146 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:38,000 It's associated with monitoring detecting and containing COVID-19 and then on the vaccine side obviously delivering the vaccine program for the province. 147 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:47,640 We do know that these costs are an estimate and are subject to change. It does kind of assume steady state and no new major variants at this time. 148 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:58,460 Similar to the previous three years with the Ministry, if additional funding is required over and above this, it would be expected that the province would continue to provide 100% funding. 149 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,880 We cover this, and we follow the ministry directives in both of these areas for what the goal of the health unit is. 150 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,420 The next one will talk about is the needle insurance program, this one is a bit smaller, so the $25,000. 151 00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:24,440 So this is 100% funding to augment the superior point harm reduction program ability to deliver this program. 152 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,900 Superior Appoints is generally experienced a steady yield distribution rate over time, 153 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,440 with an average of 869,000 needles distributed per year between 2019 and 2021. 154 00:15:37,540 --> 00:15:43,080 It's also estimated that 80% of these needles are returned to the program through collection and disposal. 155 00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:49,440 So, this money would help supplement that program and allow us to continue 156 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,880 We're running the program to the current need. 157 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,360 We also have a request for Indigenous engagement. 158 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,460 So this is funding to support the enhancement of our Indigenous Engagement activities within 159 00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:06,260 the TBDHU Catchment Area. 160 00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:12,180 So this enhanced funding is a further step in the commitment TBDHU has made to meaningful engagement 161 00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:17,780 with Indigenous partners and advancing opportunities from crew of health outcomes of 162 00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:21,340 Indigenous people in the TBDHU attachment area. 163 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:28,000 In the fall of 2019, we did an Indigenous engagement planner that worked to identify and expand 164 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,720 partnerships that TBHU has developed over the years with many Indigenous people, organizations 165 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,780 and communities. 166 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:41,860 And this funding would actually help us enhance those relationships at maybe a more senior level 167 00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:46,020 and really strengthen the existing relationships that we have in a strategic way. 168 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,160 So it would be used to increase our capacity. 169 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,940 This funding is being submitted as a one-time request, 170 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,140 but we will also be completing advocacy with the Ministry 171 00:16:58,140 --> 00:17:02,220 because this is an important area for TBDHU, 172 00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:05,060 and we would like to see this move over to base funding. 173 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,920 But we will be asking the Ministry for one-time funding as well. 174 00:17:10,340 --> 00:17:13,380 And then we are also putting in a request for vaccine forage. 175 00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:21,740 So this is three purpose-built vaccine bridges to replace the current ones that we have actually these ones are located in this underbed office. 176 00:17:21,820 --> 00:17:27,880 There have been several coaching incidents over the past few years that resulted in some issues with the bridges. 177 00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:37,780 So we are going to request three new ones. District vaccine bridges were actually all replaced through this funding in the 2020 report. 178 00:17:37,780 --> 00:18:00,600 We have a request for infectious disease, this last street outreach of just over, just under, so 815,000, so this proposal would really add staff to address the higher burden of infectious diseases, that disproportionately affect adverse populations. 179 00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:08,880 So this is going to provide a much more comprehensive community-wide approach to addressing public health issues within that population. 180 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:20,020 While this is being submitted as a one-time request, administration has advocated and will continue to advocate that annual based funding is essential for this program based on the need in our area. 181 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:26,940 This was also addressed by Dr. Demil at last month's board meeting and the advocacy request that came through. 182 00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:29,420 So this is the support of that as well. 183 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,240 And then finally, we have the PHI student practice 184 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,020 to come program. 185 00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:36,760 So the Ministry has provided us this funding since 2012. 186 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,560 It helps health units to provide paid practice 187 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,100 and positions as part of a human resource 188 00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:46,140 strategy to ensure the availability of certified public health 189 00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:46,840 inspectors. 190 00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,020 So we will be asking for that again. 191 00:18:50,820 --> 00:18:53,860 So at this point, I think we'll go back to the full agenda 192 00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:55,700 and walk through the resolutions. 193 00:18:55,700 --> 00:19:01,680 And again, provide you the opportunity for discussion and questions about what we put forward. 194 00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:04,730 Thank you. 195 00:19:04,730 --> 00:19:07,890 Do you have any questions now before you move forward? 196 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,760 Thank you for that. 197 00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:34,800 Practicality of some of that company. 198 00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,880 With the longevity of some of these bridges and stuff like that, 199 00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:44,520 is there a term that we have to replace you by standard or by what they can change. 200 00:19:48,050 --> 00:19:50,790 So I'll actually pass that over to Diana Gallamon. 201 00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:56,190 That was kind of, I would say approximately 10 issues. 202 00:19:56,990 --> 00:19:58,070 Oh, okay, so I'll move it. 203 00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:01,490 It's not like there's a government change in mind, so you're going to use it. 204 00:20:01,870 --> 00:20:04,010 Oh, no, they're the same type of bridge. 205 00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:06,670 They just, they just need updating. 206 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,340 For the question? 207 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,380 I don't know if you'll have the answers for this, 208 00:20:15,420 --> 00:20:17,380 but just with respect to the indigenous engagement, 209 00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:20,200 funding request, what are we currently, 210 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,940 like within the health unit right now, 211 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:26,860 What does that look like? 212 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,980 And are we partnering with all of the other indigenous communities 213 00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:33,000 and with the resources that are already out there? 214 00:20:33,140 --> 00:20:35,840 Because I do recognize this as a based funding request. 215 00:20:36,380 --> 00:20:39,820 So I'm just wondering, where are we with that? 216 00:20:39,820 --> 00:20:40,700 With this portfolio. 217 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:43,180 Thank you, sir. 218 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:43,540 Thank you, sir, the chair. 219 00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:46,340 I think Dr. DeVille will start sharing with us that. 220 00:20:46,340 --> 00:20:53,400 It's pretty clear, can we give this resolution, that comes along 221 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,620 in a separate resolution, don't part of it, can we deal with it as we... 222 00:20:56,620 --> 00:21:00,140 Yeah, I was just asking questions on the presentation. 223 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,140 Yeah, but some of them are, that was individually on the ones for the presentation. 224 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,940 Yeah, I knew that, I was just, I thought this was a question period. 225 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:15,260 Shall I hold that until we get to that? 226 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:28,240 up to you guys, whatever you come through with is on the floor, so yeah, I thought we were still on the questions of the presentation 227 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,360 It's kind of misleading the questions at the bottom there. 228 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:36,380 I was going to say the same, I mean, I was like, but I'm going to ask them as we. 229 00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:40,180 Okay. 230 00:21:40,180 --> 00:21:44,540 I just, I realize how this was perhaps a little confusing. 231 00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:47,140 This is what was originally a presentation 232 00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:49,440 on the annual service plan in budget submission 233 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,040 and getting an overview of that submission 234 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,620 that we are currently preparing. 235 00:21:55,780 --> 00:21:58,720 And I do recognize that there's a lot more information 236 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,000 that can be provided on each and every item, 237 00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:03,460 but that's a good idea. 238 00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:05,260 Okay, so we'll go with you over here, 239 00:22:05,740 --> 00:22:08,100 so I'll move by Paul II and wait on, 240 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:13,780 I would recommend the five-year increase to the eventual phase funding amount of 241 00:22:13,780 --> 00:22:15,240 the approved submitted to the Ministry. 242 00:22:15,740 --> 00:22:19,060 This part of the 2023 annual service plan by this mission. 243 00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:20,220 We're going to be at two notes. 244 00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:21,680 Any opposed? 245 00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:22,280 Yes. 246 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:22,760 That's a question. 247 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:23,980 Any questions? 248 00:22:24,220 --> 00:22:25,020 I'll be just a high question. 249 00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:25,780 Sorry, no. 250 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,260 I don't know. 251 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,040 I can do this one. 252 00:22:27,340 --> 00:22:27,360 Yeah. 253 00:22:28,340 --> 00:22:29,300 Specifically to this one. 254 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:29,560 Okay. 255 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,260 Do we think five percent is enough? 256 00:22:33,140 --> 00:22:37,640 I mean, with inflation, I'm just concerned, are we aiming a little too low? 257 00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:44,450 All your supplies, inflation to that, inflation to, you know what I mean? 258 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:50,250 We're projecting inflation this year to be substantially higher than that. 259 00:22:51,070 --> 00:22:58,770 So, through the chair of the reason that we did go with 5% is because that didn't match what we asked the municipalities to contribute for this budget. 260 00:23:01,070 --> 00:23:07,810 I would know, as I'm sure, would the rest of the public health staff, if we were to be able to get more money from the ministry, 261 00:23:07,810 --> 00:23:12,470 we would find a way to use it effectively to address the issues with in our communities. 262 00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:19,560 At this time, we thought that 5% was a reasonable request to the Ministry 263 00:23:20,260 --> 00:23:25,320 that would still provide us great benefit and allow us to also advocate for some of the other 264 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:32,640 issues like the infectious disease treatment that we discussed. So I don't know if anybody also 265 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,140 to jump in feel free. 266 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:42,760 I'll just acknowledge, I do think we absolutely need more funding for the kind of pressures 267 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,720 that we experience here. And I think that Alpha has noted some of that, like, those that 268 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:56,740 Alpha has done some work around half her funding for health units. We do consider a lot of the stuff 269 00:23:56,740 --> 00:24:02,440 that you mentioned when we bring the budget to the board in November. And certainly that we went through that 270 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:09,620 process in the board get a free not budget, which with, you know, recognizing we're trying 271 00:24:09,620 --> 00:24:13,560 to find the right balance and of course it ended up with a 5% increase in this 272 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:19,320 value. So we're, you know, always trying to balance putting something reasonable forward 273 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,640 to the board, to the ministry while at the same time, advocating for more funding for 274 00:24:26,170 --> 00:24:34,150 And just to comment on some of the history of it, when we looked up to the orientation but 275 00:24:34,150 --> 00:24:37,670 where we were funded, compared to some of the other boards, we're down at the bottom. 276 00:24:38,490 --> 00:24:43,050 And so we can't offer to the same extent services that other health units are offering. 277 00:24:43,670 --> 00:24:46,850 And we are continuing trying to lobby to increase that funding. 278 00:24:47,150 --> 00:24:49,910 So here's our opportunity, says we haven't been told no to anything. 279 00:24:50,290 --> 00:24:51,490 Well that's us for something. 280 00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:54,590 And we're asking for a consistent number to what we do with the municipalities. 281 00:24:55,050 --> 00:24:59,850 If not, the budget that was set last fall is what we've got a little with, and this will be tent. 282 00:25:00,230 --> 00:25:01,730 You're at the point where it's meeting tent. 283 00:25:02,670 --> 00:25:07,710 So through the church's clarification then, if you go, I mean, I'll be kind of silly. 284 00:25:08,050 --> 00:25:13,190 But if you were to go to ministry and say, eight percent, could they, would they just say, 285 00:25:13,650 --> 00:25:16,970 you know, or would they say, we won't give you equal, we'll give you five. 286 00:25:17,090 --> 00:25:18,310 Like is it an all or nothing? 287 00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:19,690 Good question. 288 00:25:19,690 --> 00:25:25,710 So, through the chair, they haven't provided us any guidance, but it doesn't mean that it's an all or nothing. 289 00:25:26,050 --> 00:25:30,750 So, we've submitted things in the past and received a reduced number. 290 00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:34,450 We have submitted one time request that they have moved over to base. 291 00:25:34,770 --> 00:25:37,850 So, we don't know the actual direction yet, but it is not an all or nothing. 292 00:25:38,110 --> 00:25:43,730 We could go in 5% and they can come back and say, across the board, everybody's getting 2%. 293 00:25:43,730 --> 00:25:47,410 So, no, we don't know that, but it is not an all or nothing. 294 00:25:47,410 --> 00:25:53,430 Okay. And then through the chair one more question, sorry. Do we know what the other health units 295 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:57,730 are we around the same number or higher or lower than them at this time? 296 00:25:58,130 --> 00:26:05,130 Yes. So, through the chair, and then I'll pass over Dr. Damell may know from her side some more. 297 00:26:06,370 --> 00:26:11,870 Every health unit is different. Every health unit has done different things over the years. Last year, 298 00:26:11,870 --> 00:26:14,270 we were told a 1% based funding increase, 299 00:26:14,410 --> 00:26:16,810 a lot of health units went in with 10% asks, 300 00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:19,050 and ended up getting the 1%. 301 00:26:20,490 --> 00:26:23,270 This year, I think a lot of health units are doing exactly 302 00:26:23,270 --> 00:26:26,350 what we're doing here today discussing what their recommendations 303 00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:32,010 are, and most from what I have heard from my colleagues across the 304 00:26:32,010 --> 00:26:34,010 province, that they are trying to stay in line with their 305 00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:39,050 municipal increase, because any increase above, the municipal 306 00:26:39,050 --> 00:26:43,470 increase could also impact the municipal lab they going forward. So they're trying to keep them 307 00:26:43,470 --> 00:26:49,130 the same. However, they will be advocating again as Dr. Dino noted through alpha through 308 00:26:49,130 --> 00:26:55,850 everything additional opportunities for these funding.

We do know that the costs are increasing as far as some of the dentures. We have a 2% increase from the dentures. In this particular year, we haven't functioned as a clinic at the health unit for a full year at this point in time that have used community dental providers. 350 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:32,680 So at this point in time, we know we have about 55 people without standing costs, like anticipated costs, 351 00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:37,900 because we've made referrals to a dentist and an approximate cost of $2,000 per person. 352 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:45,560 So already before the end of the third quarter, we have an exceptional amount of money for dentures. 353 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:53,440 And that's about at this point, about $30,000 more than we expense last year in the first quarter of the year. 354 00:30:53,440 --> 00:31:03,100 We also had no specialist costs last year, but more denture dentures than including at our clinic are referring to specialists like oral surgeons. 355 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:18,920 We had none of those last year, and we have up to 18 people waiting at this point in time, and the average cost of that has been for us about $3,000 when people are referred to an oral surgeon. 356 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:28,500 And we continue to have people coming into the program right now we may have about 15 people waiting to come into the actual program. 357 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,260 So we also anticipate we're still seeking other providers in district communities. 358 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,980 We lowered the amount for providers for district communities. 359 00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:42,380 The share is doing many of the people on the program. 360 00:31:42,380 --> 00:31:46,860 have already been on it, but if we get additional providers, we would need additional funding 361 00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:53,820 for them, and dental provider costs are going up. We've stayed the same over two years paying 362 00:31:53,820 --> 00:32:03,400 the same rates to people, but they have started to question and ask for additional, ask for 363 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:11,680 increases and what repaying we haven't done that in this particular year coming up. So last year, 364 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:19,660 We spent over $350,000 on community dental expenses, and we didn't have a clinic running. 365 00:32:22,060 --> 00:32:26,940 So we anticipate we'll spend a significant more amount of money in this particular year, 366 00:32:27,220 --> 00:32:34,860 just an external cost as well as some arm clinic that is now running. 367 00:32:34,860 --> 00:33:02,820 Can I just have a fall off to that place, are these things, I mean, I know that you're dealing with professionals, so tendering doesn't really fit into their vocabulary, but do we have any type of policy to basically tenders to get the best rates for the dentures or the dentists or that sort of thing? Or is it just strictly, we set a fee for their services and that's it? 368 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:09,720 We're dependent on trying to seek people who wish to work with the senior's dental care program. 369 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,780 We tried to set separate rates. 370 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,200 We negotiate with them. 371 00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:17,940 We only have one community denturist so far who has been willing to work with the program 372 00:33:17,940 --> 00:33:20,060 because we pay them less money. 373 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,460 We pay them approximately 30% less than what they would actually get if they had someone going directly to them 374 00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:27,620 or if they were willing to an insurance company. 375 00:33:27,620 --> 00:33:35,260 So we have an agreement with them to accept less payment to work with our program and they've 376 00:33:35,260 --> 00:33:36,120 agreed to do that. 377 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,300 So we do set rates. 378 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,660 There are no provincial rates through the program. 379 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,900 We have to negotiate to try to ensure services within our communities. 380 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:51,580 None of the specialist service providers like oral surgeons are willing to accept negotiation 381 00:33:51,580 --> 00:33:56,140 with us, but we still have to ensure people get service through the program. 382 00:33:56,140 --> 00:34:02,200 So at this point in time, we would be paying four rates when it was deemed necessary to send them. 383 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:09,700 We do have providers with our own clinic that do their best to try to serve them within our program at a more cost-effective way. 384 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,100 But when that's not possible, we need to send people out. 385 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:18,360 And we have a vulnerable population who are medically compromised in many ways. 386 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:25,780 And so we have to triage their needs appropriately and send them out to specialists when that is appropriate. 387 00:34:26,740 --> 00:34:32,860 The reason I asked that is because I worked for years in the optical business, and we used to 388 00:34:32,860 --> 00:34:39,900 have contracts with the city and the government provided contracts for examinations as 389 00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:46,080 well as for eyeglasses, and they were set rates that people could pay over and above 390 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,700 they had the means, but this was the rate that we were giving, so that was the reason that I asked 391 00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:55,560 It was only sort of a place, but I appreciate your answers, thank you. 392 00:34:56,220 --> 00:34:56,460 Interesting. 393 00:34:57,420 --> 00:34:57,520 Yes. 394 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,580 So through you, the chair. 395 00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:02,060 A question, actually, about the provincial funding. 396 00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:05,220 And obviously, this is a recognized program with the province. 397 00:35:06,340 --> 00:35:10,120 But it seems like they haven't gotten to the next step yet, which is negotiating 398 00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:17,440 you rate and access to, for this program, for the population of Ontario. 399 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:25,720 So I don't see an issue with this actual particular motion and request for funding, but I'd 400 00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:31,320 like to ask, what are we doing to further get ourselves in a position where this is going 401 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,980 to be a very supported and enhanced program in Ontario? 402 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:41,600 Are you guys working with your colleagues across the province to leverage what you have to 403 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:47,600 offer and get access in some of these private dentist's office and denture's office. 404 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:53,140 We're going with the future of this because I can just see prices going up and up and up 405 00:35:53,140 --> 00:35:58,400 and if we're not going to sort of set a proper program into place we could be looking at funding 406 00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,940 increases year over year. 407 00:36:02,020 --> 00:36:06,780 So the Ontario Association of Public Health Dentistry and that's where the public 408 00:36:06,780 --> 00:36:15,940 The public dental providers come together to discuss challenges and issues and practices and that's discussed quite often at that level. 409 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:26,720 There's advocacy and feedback to the ministry on a regular basis through the leadership through the executive at that particular association. 410 00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:34,100 And also through off other places as well, I think the government right now is concentrating 411 00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:41,800 on that Canada, dental benefit at peace as well, but we have not yet, you know, there's been 412 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:47,420 very little communication from a dental perspective with the ministry over the past couple 413 00:36:47,420 --> 00:36:48,400 of years. 414 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:54,280 Health units at this point in time are still in a position to have to negotiate and try 415 00:36:54,280 --> 00:37:01,000 do what they can with providers and seek providers for our own clinics or within the community. 416 00:37:02,180 --> 00:37:05,020 This is another publicly funded dental program. 417 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:12,140 We know healthy smiles Ontario is another one where community dental providers are paid potentially 418 00:37:12,140 --> 00:37:17,760 55% of what they would normally be paid and that's been ongoing for many, many years. 419 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,420 and from a private practice perspective, 420 00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:26,480 they're challenged with that and they're not very happy with that. 421 00:37:26,820 --> 00:37:29,100 So additional programs where you're asking them 422 00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:33,160 to accept less when they have over has become very difficult. 423 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,100 And it depends where you live, what the uptake is for people 424 00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:39,800 wishing to work with you, Toronto seems to have more providers 425 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:44,400 who are willing to do collaboratively or at a lesser rate 426 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,600 or to seek staff dentists, 427 00:37:47,740 --> 00:37:49,300 where in the north it's a little more challenging. 428 00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:51,100 And we do meet in the north regularly 429 00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:53,120 to look at some of those challenges 430 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,360 and try to make sure from a northern perspective 431 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,540 or looking at same rates or same strategies 432 00:37:58,540 --> 00:38:04,160 so that there's fairness within our particular regions. 433 00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:06,280 But it is a very challenging program 434 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,160 when we are required to set all the parameters 435 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,300 for the program and seek people to work with us 436 00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:20,240 try to establish particularly and do at the mercy sometimes of the providers and whether they need 437 00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:25,920 to really participate or work to give some of them want to do that type of work and are passionate 438 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:34,100 about that but others not so much. So kind of where we're at at this point in time and I don't 439 00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:39,880 see anything in the very near future where anything is established to set particular rates and 440 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,960 I'm glad you're recording me. 441 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,400 Yeah, Carol, I may ask you a follow-up question just with respect to your response. 442 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:55,000 The Indigenous population in the north are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to dental care. 443 00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:04,430 Is there a way to tap into more money for this population that you guys may be servicing through another opportunity fund or whatever it may be? 444 00:39:04,430 --> 00:39:20,260 So, we, of course, we've also been sideline by COVID for some time, so we're ramping up when we're looking at all of our issues and our advocacy and our research and, you know, focused on particularly what's happening within our region. 445 00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:27,260 There are other plans where benefits are covered from a dental perspective for indigenous people. 446 00:39:28,220 --> 00:39:34,280 Of course there will be indigenous people that are not having access to those particular programs. 447 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:45,420 But we're trying to establish information as far as doing situational assessment for our particular district and what the needs are. 448 00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:53,700 but we have found that there are avenues for some of our Indigenous population seniors to 449 00:39:53,700 --> 00:40:01,000 access funds for service. Many children Indigenous they come through are help these files on 450 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,460 material program as well and we're very, very well aware of that through that particular program, 451 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:11,800 though. Excellent. Thank you. Do you wish? Yes. Through the chair, just a quick question about 452 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,560 those partnerships with some of the private dentists have some of the partnerships 453 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:22,360 that we also reached out to the schools because I can see the school system would be 454 00:40:23,460 --> 00:40:27,500 not in the form of dentists but in our community I don't believe we have a dental school 455 00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:33,360 but we do have a hygienist school so in that area of cleaning teeth and stuff like that as 456 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:40,480 well we might be able to tap in there because they do or they use do anyways have like an 457 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:45,820 and session for people to come and get their teeth cleaned and they usually apply to students 458 00:40:46,380 --> 00:40:50,700 to get it done cheaper. So I just want to make sure that we really recognize whatever partnerships 459 00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:55,180 we can in our community and they don't necessarily have to be those dentists. 460 00:40:56,740 --> 00:41:01,840 No, we thank you. We had a partnership actually with St. Joe's, 461 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,620 the high-genus from there. For some time working collaboratively with them, 462 00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:08,880 they actually don't have their dental program running at this point in time. 463 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:15,180 We do let people know about the college and the opportunity to attend their, I believe, 464 00:41:15,860 --> 00:41:19,580 for cleaning for seniors, for others, it's sometimes $25. 465 00:41:20,660 --> 00:41:24,080 That's something that they can access where the students are learning. 466 00:41:24,660 --> 00:41:31,560 The cleaning is done by students and normally takes, it could take an hour and a half to two hours. 467 00:41:31,620 --> 00:41:34,860 So we're happy because it's an opportunity for students to learn. 468 00:41:34,860 --> 00:41:46,060 We do talk with the college regularly, what we have high-geness, and I don't think people are lacking the ability to access that service because you're able to access it from us. 469 00:41:46,340 --> 00:41:51,120 And in district communities, we do engage them so that people do not have to travel unless necessary. 470 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:59,160 But for my dentist perspective, they don't have dental opportunity at the college. 471 00:42:00,780 --> 00:42:07,500 So that's where the challenges lie that people can't go there to get dental from a dentist dental work done. 472 00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:07,680 Yeah. 473 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,180 Thank you. 474 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,660 One quick follow up to that. 475 00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:11,960 Very quick promise. 476 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,120 Do you know very much because I don't have a dental program? 477 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,020 Could there be an opportunity for them to do? 478 00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:24,160 Like U of T has a dental program to do their residency to do something like that here to be able to. 479 00:42:24,940 --> 00:42:26,480 Like do you know anything about that? 480 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,060 I'm just trying to expand that group that you're having an opportunity to partner with, 481 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:38,260 and we might not think of, for example, U of T, because I know with my program, we 482 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:44,800 radiation therapy, we go out past that community that we're actually being schooled in to do some 483 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,200 of our residency, and I'm just wondering if there's possibly an opportunity there. 484 00:42:50,500 --> 00:42:57,740 It's possible. There are a lot of low-come opportunities in the North, where they do have 485 00:42:57,740 --> 00:43:02,160 tend to just coming and going and we are set up with some of those dental providers as well 486 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,600 that almost on a yearly basis we're reading a contract because the dentist has left and there's 487 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:13,180 only one coming or that they're corporately owned dental offices, particularly throughout our 488 00:43:13,180 --> 00:43:18,500 rural communities and locally we work with some of those schools, dental schools. 489 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:24,140 We haven't gotten to the point of talking with the local Thunder Bay dental association or 490 00:43:24,140 --> 00:43:29,860 are looking within our clinic because we have just been establishing providers within our clinic 491 00:43:29,860 --> 00:43:34,960 and learning to work together and setting up what days they can work and getting established. 492 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:40,160 We started in September and we just had a new dentist start. 493 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:47,080 An additional one start this month so we are kind of in our infancy of, you know, making sure 494 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:54,120 of our practices and looking at things appropriately for sure that does not preclude us being able 495 00:43:54,120 --> 00:44:02,560 to collect one more looking at other opportunities to ensure that we have capacity. They would 496 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:09,460 have to be guided though where somebody's mentoring and supervising and we would have to have 497 00:44:09,460 --> 00:44:14,980 people here on a full-time basis to be able to provide that opportunity to them. 498 00:44:15,620 --> 00:44:18,340 Thank you. Thank you. 499 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:31,980 I was just wondering if I'm new person to the board, just wondering how a person applies or qualifies for the senior dental program. 500 00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:38,710 It's a very low income eligibility criteria. 501 00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:48,330 It is on the Ministry of the Ontario Ministry website, as far as seniors dental, the Ontario senior dental care program. 502 00:44:48,330 --> 00:44:53,110 We normally, we have it on our website and we, during advertising, people contact us. 503 00:44:53,410 --> 00:44:56,830 We do a lot of signing people up for the program. 504 00:44:57,410 --> 00:44:59,970 A lot of seniors take advantage of them. 505 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:18,800 Connecting with us and having like Kathleen within our program spends an exorbitant amount of time helping people sign up for the program. Someone can call and she's on the phone for half an hour, helping them work through, signing up and establishing connection with the program. 506 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:30,880 All they have to, they fill out their application form and it's reviewed and they receive a card in the mail and they connect back with us and we help them navigate to access all the services that they need. 507 00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:45,820 But we do that for them. We're actually looking at now a plan and places to how to connect with organizations that serve seniors, places seniors go to see if we can have them also assist seniors to be able to navigate and sign up for the program. 508 00:45:45,820 --> 00:45:52,200 So we're at that point where we're reaching out and trying to get other service providers 509 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,440 to partner with us to help people sign up. 510 00:45:56,500 --> 00:46:02,100 Also, promotional activities we're looking at doing this month, we're going to the 55 511 00:46:02,100 --> 00:46:02,920 plus center. 512 00:46:03,020 --> 00:46:05,780 We're going to go to the mall to try to help people sign up. 513 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:11,080 We're going to other organizations to be accessible and available for people to approach 514 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:19,980 to be able to access, but we do get many, many, many phone calls, where we help people register. 515 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,440 Unfortunately, it's all online. 516 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:27,400 Okay, thank you. 517 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,540 So, again, back to the resolution. 518 00:46:28,980 --> 00:46:30,880 I'm going to read it again because it's been a while. 519 00:46:32,020 --> 00:46:39,020 So, we recommend a 490-4500 increase to the 100% until you're seeing your 520 00:46:39,020 --> 00:46:40,600 through and submit it to the Ministry of Health, 521 00:46:40,660 --> 00:46:43,560 it's part of the 2020 Internal Service Plan, 522 00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:45,620 but it's a mission for that health in it. 523 00:46:45,620 --> 00:46:46,200 Any opposed?

608 00:52:14,970 --> 00:52:16,750 I have one, two, but here's. 609 00:52:17,110 --> 00:52:17,690 To the chair. 610 00:52:18,210 --> 00:52:19,070 Back to some history. 611 00:52:19,630 --> 00:52:22,870 We, a number of years ago, put in a large capital request to the Ministry. 612 00:52:23,370 --> 00:52:25,050 We've really never ever heard back. 613 00:52:25,750 --> 00:52:28,870 And we have been working our way through all the different projects. 614 00:52:28,870 --> 00:52:43,490 So, two-part question, do we know, do you know what is left now on that magic list, and the second part is, if they don't fund it, do we still have enough left and the cow will reserve, we have to cover this work so we can get it done this year. 615 00:52:44,290 --> 00:52:47,730 So, through the chair, we'll also adjust this in the facilities report later in the meeting. 616 00:52:47,930 --> 00:52:52,630 We do have a list of upcoming projects and upcoming needs from a capital perspective. 617 00:52:52,630 --> 00:52:58,230 I would note that the original design and large submission that we made to the ministry. 618 00:52:58,870 --> 00:53:03,510 We have made significant advancements on that over the last several years. 619 00:53:05,210 --> 00:53:12,990 The guiding principles, I guess, around that larger renovation have been taken into account in all of the smaller renovations that we've done. 620 00:53:13,250 --> 00:53:15,510 We have not heard back on whether that money is available. 621 00:53:16,130 --> 00:53:21,570 But the ministry has given us a significant amount of capital funding over the last few years for the smaller projects we've done. 622 00:53:22,530 --> 00:53:38,150 With what we see on our look ahead from the capital perspective, we do have the capital reserve of $2 million and we do feel at this time that that is sufficient for what we need, but of course we will always continue to ask the ministry to provide us the funding if available. 623 00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:45,470 I can't really question if I made Mr. Drill, the value of the 320,000 is that a concrete 624 00:53:45,470 --> 00:53:49,530 number is that an estimated number when you get that estimate or is it allowed to be 625 00:53:49,530 --> 00:53:52,850 up in today's market as opposed to when you got it? 626 00:53:53,270 --> 00:53:59,210 So through the chair, we actually received that number very similar to that last year while we were 627 00:53:59,210 --> 00:54:05,670 doing the exterior of the building, we looked at potentially trying to do it at that time, 628 00:54:05,670 --> 00:54:12,770 But the issue that the contractor identified was that the price would be elevated because it was a tight turnaround 629 00:54:12,770 --> 00:54:23,650 There were less contractors available. So this actually this price is an estimate based on discussion with our engineers and architects of a reasonable process 630 00:54:23,650 --> 00:54:30,670 Provided we put the tender out now and have enough time to plan and get enough contractors to be at on the project 631 00:54:30,670 --> 00:54:32,670 Thank you very much for that. 632 00:54:33,050 --> 00:54:33,670 Any other questions? 633 00:54:34,950 --> 00:54:35,290 Opposed? 634 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,200 We will, again, motion. 635 00:54:57,620 --> 00:54:58,220 You write the resolution. 636 00:54:58,540 --> 00:54:59,340 Move by the Christine. 637 00:54:59,860 --> 00:55:01,140 Second by Mr. Weiler. 638 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,380 The one-time funding request needed in syringe program. 639 00:55:05,180 --> 00:55:08,400 With respect to report 14-2023 harm reduction. 640 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:13,540 We recommend the application for the one-time 100% funding for the $25,000. 641 00:55:13,540 --> 00:55:35,520 for costs associated with delivering the needle syringe program to be approved for submission to the Ministry of Health through the annual service plan and the budget submission process and that the direct appropriate services and manager finance be authorized to complete the any administration and administration requirements of the budget budget submission process as required questions. 642 00:55:37,630 --> 00:55:44,210 Right through the chair. I'm surprised this isn't in our base funding. Is this a like are we expecting 643 00:55:44,210 --> 00:55:48,550 the harms prevention group to take this on after or? 644 00:55:50,310 --> 00:55:56,430 So through the chair, I'll answer that and then I'll quickly pass it over to Kansas Belonjay who is the manager in this area to also comment 645 00:55:56,430 --> 00:56:01,470 We do have an amount in our base budget related to this program. This 646 00:56:02,950 --> 00:56:07,910 funding has been provided by the ministry because they suddenly need over and above the 647 00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:12,470 base funding allocations that we have previously allocated. So that is why it's here. 648 00:56:12,670 --> 00:56:17,430 But it is we do have a component in our base budget. This is just additional funding that the 649 00:56:17,430 --> 00:56:20,690 ministry provided to us last year and we will again request this year. 650 00:56:25,430 --> 00:56:26,490 Yeah, I'm just looking at Candice 651 00:56:26,490 --> 00:56:34,230 if I missed anything there. No, there have been some increases in cost of needles as well as 652 00:56:34,230 --> 00:56:40,030 cost of disposal. So this would also support. Thank you. Any further questions? 653 00:56:50,450 --> 00:56:56,830 Okay, move late to our second by Cindy. We're getting a one-time funder request or indigenous 654 00:56:56,830 --> 00:57:02,830 engagement that we're the respect to report number 15-2023. We recommend that the application 655 00:57:02,830 --> 00:57:10,230 for one-time 100% the lending to a $3,000,000, $3,000 for the enhancement of indigenous engagement 656 00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:15,210 activities within the Fundatory District Health, given it be a progress submission to the ministry, 657 00:57:15,210 --> 00:57:20,390 help through the annual service plan and budget submission process in the direction of rapid 658 00:57:20,390 --> 00:57:25,450 services and manager finance be authorized to complete an even administrative requirements 659 00:57:25,450 --> 00:57:29,370 of the budget submission process as required. Questions? 660 00:57:35,940 --> 00:57:42,580 Yeah, we'll just go back to my question through the chair previously. With respect to this program, 661 00:57:42,580 --> 00:57:45,880 I'm recognizing it isn't a high need for base funding. 662 00:57:46,900 --> 00:57:50,980 I'm just wondering if now's the time to have that conversation or do we just want to go 663 00:57:50,980 --> 00:57:58,440 and try to access funding and look at further developing this as one of our core core needs. 664 00:57:59,340 --> 00:58:02,320 And I question that because in other communities where 665 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,560 and other districts where health units have other higher population of ethnicities 666 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:11,900 in the Toronto area, specifically I'm thinking they may be looking at other ways to do engagement 667 00:58:12,540 --> 00:58:20,900 with those populations. So I don't see any differently that they may be doing the same thing and I just want to recognize that what we can be doing we should be doing. 668 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:36,860 We actually do a lot of Indigenous engagement at different levels. 669 00:58:37,220 --> 00:58:40,320 Like given the word that I do when this is a look at First Nations on the 30. 670 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:44,600 that was at the previous board would be more aware of, 671 00:58:45,700 --> 00:58:47,200 but even at the program level, 672 00:58:48,060 --> 00:58:50,780 we are working directly with many first nation communities 673 00:58:50,780 --> 00:58:51,920 or first native partners. 674 00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:54,980 And we certainly are looking more strategically 675 00:58:54,980 --> 00:59:00,020 at how to move that forward and COVID the pandemic sort 676 00:59:00,020 --> 00:59:02,320 of altered the kind of work that we're doing, 677 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,380 but we're certainly looking at it once again 678 00:59:05,380 --> 00:59:07,240 more concretely going forward. 679 00:59:08,140 --> 00:59:15,580 This actually is an item that I was going to bring back to the board for ongoing orientation 680 00:59:15,580 --> 00:59:21,060 in terms of looking at what we're already doing, and I think it's because it's fairly 681 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,080 broad across the organization, what we do and where we want to go with this. 682 00:59:25,260 --> 00:59:29,240 So I think that your question does actually sort of remind me that I should move ahead. 683 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:30,880 Okay. 684 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:31,900 Thank you. 685 00:59:32,540 --> 00:59:34,760 And I think it was more exactly what you are. 686 00:59:35,820 --> 00:59:38,520 because when I read this through Chairsory, 687 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,580 when I read this, I'm thinking this is another, 688 00:59:40,820 --> 00:59:42,740 this is adding an employee. 689 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,100 When I read the breakdown of it, 690 00:59:46,100 --> 00:59:48,840 and I'm going, so I've had the impression 691 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,980 that it was being broadly done 692 00:59:50,980 --> 00:59:53,080 and maybe now it's going to be more focused 693 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:53,760 as an individual. 694 00:59:56,100 --> 00:59:56,860 Is that kind of right?

So that's just a brief overview. 881 01:14:20,140 --> 01:14:26,240 Have you had any questions and I have our manager out of your information systems and facilities on the line as well? 882 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:27,660 Do you have any questions here? 883 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:28,860 On to the chair. 884 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:30,180 A comment to hydro. 885 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:31,980 We have a nice reduction. 886 01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:34,200 Yes, we can talk to about getting adoption. 887 01:14:34,700 --> 01:14:35,620 Yes, this is it. 888 01:14:35,740 --> 01:14:36,720 Yes, we do. 889 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:42,480 So through the chair, you can see we've done some significant work with our handling units, our 890 01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:43,040 boilers. 891 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,520 So the building is becoming much more efficient as we do some of these projects. 892 01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,780 We are hopeful that there will be another reduction next year. 893 01:14:51,020 --> 01:14:52,400 Now that we have the new windows. 894 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:59,260 So we were quite pleased at the trend that that's going even light of increasing hydro reads. 895 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,000 What's the first to find why we did it since then? 896 01:15:02,780 --> 01:15:03,200 Any questions? 897 01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:10,200 In the report, there's a comment about generators in case there's an extended dollar failure. 898 01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:18,940 I'm just asking, if there's an extended power failure, the generators, basically, would just have to support the fridges. 899 01:15:19,480 --> 01:15:22,400 But everybody else would pretty much be sent home, right? 900 01:15:22,820 --> 01:15:26,960 So through the chair, we have a generator system that supports the critical areas of the building. 901 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,460 And yes, we would evacuate the building and have people come home. 902 01:15:29,460 --> 01:15:31,540 but there are critical components, 903 01:15:32,060 --> 01:15:34,300 including our server room, our vaccine fridges, 904 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:35,460 that require that. 905 01:15:35,740 --> 01:15:38,700 So we would also be looking at implementing a backup system 906 01:15:38,700 --> 01:15:40,300 for our backup system. 907 01:15:40,780 --> 01:15:42,580 Right there, there, there, there, there. 908 01:15:42,580 --> 01:15:43,440 That's it, the backup system. 909 01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:45,120 Thank you for your questions. 910 01:15:46,140 --> 01:15:46,400 Good morning. 911 01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,360 Moving on to the output when you're conference. 912 01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,060 The report, regarding this symposium, 913 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:58,300 that is held for the citizenship center report. 914 01:15:58,300 --> 01:16:02,670 And I saw, I attacked onto his base of the U.S. 915 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,260 He was a pretty sterile guy when it comes to doing that stuff. 916 01:16:07,220 --> 01:16:11,940 Well, I found one of the best parts of the program was creating new board members that 917 01:16:11,940 --> 01:16:13,200 I felt was some learning sessions. 918 01:16:13,780 --> 01:16:17,500 I thought it was a pretty good orientation and learning session in the session. 919 01:16:18,100 --> 01:16:21,860 And the afters did not take away from the afternoon session, but I found a learning session 920 01:16:21,860 --> 01:16:26,140 really, really, really for bringing new board members on this field. 921 01:16:26,540 --> 01:16:31,080 I don't know if anybody else who was on wants to add to the had or not, I mean, there was 922 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:39,740 a really new board, but if not, I mean, it was a good session, and I'm so glad I came to 923 01:16:39,740 --> 01:16:39,760 that. 924 01:16:40,540 --> 01:16:48,240 And I thank Mr. President for his remarks, and I'll take on that kind of thing. 925 01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,580 You always tend to do things that a lot. 926 01:16:50,900 --> 01:16:52,300 Kelly's nothing for us. 927 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:56,240 Okay. 928 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:56,260 Sure. 929 01:16:58,180 --> 01:16:58,580 Oh, sorry. 930 01:16:59,320 --> 01:16:59,840 Okay, 931 01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:03,120 thank you. 932 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,140 It's a new word number on it. 933 01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,760 I got a lot of good information out of it. 934 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,940 Which really worked well. 935 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:12,560 Thank you. 936 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:14,020 Thank you for attending that. 937 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:14,820 Thank you for the comment. 938 01:17:21,250 --> 01:17:21,770 Okay. 939 01:17:22,410 --> 01:17:26,050 I just have a couple of brief updates for you. 940 01:17:26,570 --> 01:17:27,330 I'll provide certainly. 941 01:17:27,590 --> 01:17:29,430 I wanted to let you know about some changes 942 01:17:29,430 --> 01:17:31,410 in the senior leadership team here. 943 01:17:31,650 --> 01:17:32,270 I'm a great speaker. 944 01:17:33,230 --> 01:17:37,210 First of all, I am a gown lock over in the quarter. 945 01:17:38,150 --> 01:17:40,930 It's officially down the director of health protection 946 01:17:40,930 --> 01:17:42,010 and chief nurse check-off. 947 01:17:42,310 --> 01:17:49,250 She has been acting in this role for the past year, 948 01:17:49,250 --> 01:17:56,170 So, please, and I'm very pleased when she applied to take on this permanently in our recent recruitment process. 949 01:17:57,650 --> 01:18:04,710 So, and Diana prior to taking on this role was actually the manager for infectious disease program and IPAC. 950 01:18:04,970 --> 01:18:09,270 So, it's great to have her join us officially at the senior leadership table. 951 01:18:10,110 --> 01:18:18,250 On the other side, though, I am sad to note that Mr. Lance still will be leaving after setting five years 952 01:18:18,250 --> 01:18:20,550 with us as a director of corporate services. 953 01:18:21,490 --> 01:18:24,310 And in fact, this is the last week in the last award 954 01:18:24,310 --> 01:18:24,770 evening. 955 01:18:26,090 --> 01:18:29,230 And I just want to acknowledge this significant contribution 956 01:18:29,230 --> 01:18:32,430 to the pandemic to Kelvin at over the time he spent here. 957 01:18:32,610 --> 01:18:36,270 I think all this experience, I'll perhaps get out of here, 958 01:18:36,510 --> 01:18:39,250 helped him get his next position, 959 01:18:40,070 --> 01:18:41,830 but I wish him all the best in the future. 960 01:18:43,750 --> 01:18:46,730 And the recruitment process for his replacement 961 01:18:46,730 --> 01:18:53,110 is currently in progress and I will certainly provide an update to the chair and to the board 962 01:18:53,110 --> 01:19:00,570 when that is completed. The second item I wanted to mention and Mr. Smith started off the meeting 963 01:19:00,570 --> 01:19:07,910 with the land acknowledgement today and that came up at the last meeting. Internally we are currently 964 01:19:07,910 --> 01:19:15,330 updating our guidelines for land development for our staff and our programs and we will be 965 01:19:15,330 --> 01:19:23,210 proposing, looking at the land acknowledgement for the Board of Health as well, so we will 966 01:19:23,210 --> 01:19:31,410 be bringing something back for your consideration in terms of your land acknowledgement 967 01:19:31,410 --> 01:19:32,450 for board meetings. 968 01:19:33,770 --> 01:19:37,590 And the final update I wanted to provide, I believe I've already spoken to, which just 969 01:19:37,590 --> 01:19:45,310 to follow up on the infectious disease and the advocacy that you endorsed at the last, at 970 01:19:45,310 --> 01:20:00,270 We provide most of the answer to a question earlier on that funding, so I will continue to work with the chair regarding the letter and the board's communication to the ministry and we'll be updating with you with the outcomes of that. 971 01:20:00,530 --> 01:20:02,570 That's my update, and I'd be happy to take it. 972 01:20:03,170 --> 01:20:07,350 I would just like if I could, I would like to just piggyback on your comment. 973 01:20:07,350 --> 01:20:13,430 Mr. Dill, in the five years it, I went on the board for years and the last, since last 974 01:20:13,430 --> 01:20:18,870 is joined this group, it's been a very, very positive work and it's moved out that's moved 975 01:20:18,870 --> 01:20:24,790 along very, very well and there's any any questions where you know, readily answered and this 976 01:20:24,790 --> 01:20:29,430 appreciate everything you've done for us last, and we should know you had a lesson with your new 977 01:20:29,430 --> 01:20:30,250 move. 978 01:20:34,630 --> 01:20:42,190 Okay, next meeting.
