Health council wants money
to compete for specialists

THE TERRACE Area
Health Council has asked
the provincial government
for more money to avoid
losing ‘specialists to other
places in the province
which can offer more pay.

The request was
sparked by the departure
earlier this year of patho-
logist Dr. Thangarajah Sor-
narajah who has left for
Nanaimo.

health authority up to a
full complement of five in
that city and one in Dun-

chinson, that authority's
official responsible for
finding physicians.

“We've had to pay the

market rate to stay compe-

titive,” said Hutchinson
who added that the middle

in the province. '
“The point is that there
is an increased demand
and a shortage of supply.”
Average pathologists’
salaries in B.C. are be-
lieved to be around
$275,000 a year, slightly
less than what Nanaimo is
paying but a significant
gap over what the local
health council can afford, .

He’s now making $270,000
on salary in Nanaimo, not
including benefits...

“Our dilemma here is
that we are no longer.com-
petitive with other com-
munities,” says health
council chief executive of-
ficer Dieter Kuntz.

“We need more money
put into our hospital base

budget and we can’t wait,”
he said.

“The point is that .
there is an Increased —
demand and a short-
age of supply.”

Somarajah’s departure
has alarmed local physi-
cians who say having an
on-site specialist is impor-
tant for the fast diagnosis
of tissue samples to aid
local surgeons and other
specialists. .

Financial figures from
the health ministry indi-
cate that for the year end-
ing June 2000, Sornarajah
made $255,583, which is
more than his base salary.

But that was because,
he did work for the provin-
cial atlorney-general’s
ministry and other commu-
nities, sald Kuntz.

Sornarajah was eligible
to receive an annual bonus
to stay in Terrace under a

But that’ amount,
$26,000, would not have
completely made up the
difference between the
$220,000 he made here
and the $270,000 he’s now
making in Nanaimo.

There is no such annual

Sornarajah would have

No such provision is avail-
able in Nanaimo and pa-
