2-4-07 A letter from Bluewater Health, dated November 23, 2006, replying to County Council's motion regarding the restructuring of the Chiropody Program at Bluewater Health. Bluewater Health will continue to provide the chiropody services for their inpatients at all three sites (CEE, Mitton and Norman). The decision to change the delivery of the outpatient service was based on the service being readily available in the community by a number of providers; directing their limited resources to provide acute care services for inpatients; delivering the program consistently across all three sites; and, achieving a balanced position mandated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
