Association's structure and
therefore had no real
opportunity to decide who was
sufficiently qualified for office
at election time.

Former Board member Dave
Lloyd argued that public
attendance would “inhibit and
slow up board meetings.’

It is the trustees job to ensure
that their efforts make the
hospital operate efficiently.
“Something which would be
limited if the resolution is
passed.” ;

Lloyd said confidential
matters such as staff disipline,
doctors privileges and
treatment of patients should not
be discussed by large numbers’
of people.

Refusing to allow society
‘members to attend board

-meetings deprives them of the
“experience of learning how the
- board operates, its duties and
-functions, ‘and restricts’ the
number of qualified candidates

.for the hespital board at

“election time, said a member.

. Another member asked how

-often the board discussed
confidential matters at board
meetings.

Miller replied that

, confidential business frequently

took up more than half the
board’s ag anda.
_Former trustee Murdo
MacDonald asked the meeting
to leave the situation as it is.
“The hospital’s record is a
living testimonial of the present
method.”

An unidentified member
argues that the hospital is a
public utility which serves the
peaple. ‘‘We would not intend to
interrupt the good work of the
board,” he added.

“This is an attempt to
introduce democracy into board
meetings;"’ people would ask
questions, get information,
understand what’s going on,
and become capable of
understanding what is required
of a candidate for the office of
hospital trustee,”’ he said
‘Other members speaking to
the motion on the floor agreed
that people would attend
meetings as observers rather
than as participants, They said
that confidential issues could be
taken in-camera, but that the
public should be given a chance
to understand the nature of
hospital business.

“This is a good cross-section
of representation” said McColl.

He added that the current
situation is much better than it
was in years past when little
interest was shown in hospital
meetings.

‘In fact in the past it has been
difficult to get enough people in
attendance te constitute a
qucrum to elect board
members,” he said.

Former member Bob Elkins
pointed out that at least five
former board members had
spoken against the motion. He
noted that ‘they have no axe to
grind but are against it and do
not currently participate in
board meetings.”

said that unless individual
members attend every meeting
“they will lose the continuity of
the meetings.”

Frey said the board would
then be forced to waste time
answering irrelevant questions
and contributions of attending
members would be “minimal,
at best*’,

Arnold Best said that ‘“‘would-
be politicians” would likely
disrupt meetings and sessions
would take on political
overtones if the board meetings
were opened to the public.

Chen-Wing said there are
peliticial overtones in every
public gathering, “Its
Socialogically impossible to
avoid them,” he said.

Member Mrs. R. Kerr said
she resented the implication
that members attending board
meetings would disrupt board
business. ‘“‘Interested people.
such as myself, would attend,
not trouble-makers, politicians
or people with selfish motives.”

“IT resent your implication,”
she told Best.

Nadine Asante, a board
member who is married to a
doctor, said that confidential
issues such as disciplinary
action should he made public.

Chen-Wing insisted that
members should have more
information about hospital
activilies and that minutes of
meetings should be given to
members, He said that the
