The Municipality of West Grey’s Emergency Control Group reconvened on July 22nd to review the state of emergency that was originally declared on May 28, 2024 regarding the concern for public safety due to the removal of in-patient beds and changes to the emergency room operating that went into effect on June 3, 2024.
“The Durham Hospital remains a critical piece of our community infrastructure. The Municipality and Council are continuing efforts to save the Durham Hospital, and until such time as there is a satisfactory commitment to resolving this health care crisis, the state of emergency will remain in effect in West Grey” said Mayor Kevin Eccles.
The Municipality continues to reach out to government agencies, community partners and health care stakeholders to explore opportunities for a collaborative approach for securing the future of the Durham Hospital as the critical anchor for health care in West Grey and surrounding areas.
At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
