Don’t move,
says MLA

ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON Dr.
Sean Phelan should stay in
Kitimat, says Skeena NDP MLA
Helmut Giesbrecht.

"I don’t know of any analysis
that makes sense to move (the
orthopedic service) to Terrace or
io Prince Ruperi,’’ he said last
week,

Giesbrecht’s comments add to
the growing controversy over
where Phelan should be located.

A review of northwest medical

services a year ago recommended

he be moved to Prince Rupert to
help support specialty services
there.

But Mills Memorial Hospital
has also put in a bid for Phelan’s
services and Kitimat wants him to
stay put.

An attempt by northwest hospi-
tals to agree on Phelan’s location
among themselves has failed and
health minister Paul Ramsey has
said he will decide where the doc-
tor will practice. ;

“The orthopedic service is in
Kitimat and it is working well. It
has no business being moved to
Rupert,”’ said Giesbrecht.

“Who is going to pick up the
costs involved? Who is going to
pay the $100,000 that Kitimat
spent in recruiting one? Who is
going to buy out the contract Dr.
Phelan has with Kitimat? These
are all questions that are not ans-
wered,’’ he continued,

Gicsbrecht wanis an efid to
whal he’s calling the ‘‘unswerv-
ing haste’? to have the service
moved,

“Somebody has to put a hold
on it, The recommendation is just
one of many in the northwest
health review but if seems im-
possible to Gind a consensus,’’ he
said.

“In this fashion there will
certainly be a winner in terms of
health care delivery if it ls moved
to Rupert and that will be Rupert.
And there will be a loser and that
will be Kitimat.””

“There should be a hold, at
least until the mgional health
council is in place..1’m not con-
vinced there’s any great urgency

- in moving this service,’ Gies-
brecht said.

He felt having the health minis-

‘try make a decision isn’t a good
option because it will produce a
winnerandaloser

Giesbrecht admits that his posi-
tion puts him at odds with North
‘Coast MLA (and cabinet minis-
ter) Dan Miller who wants the
service in Prince Rupert.

**T realize that Dan has to look
after the Nori Coast. [ under-
stand that but I have to look after
Skeena,’’ said Giesbrecht
-**The only thing in favour of
moving the service to Prince
Rupert is this damn recommenda-
tion from thls review,’’ he said.
