Brockville General Hospital Encouraged by Ministry Commitment Leeds/Grenville—The Board of Governors of Brockville General Hospital is encouraged by the recent commitment by the Honourable Deb Matthews, Minister of Health, to make a decision on the transfer of Acute Mental Health Services from the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group to BGH within one month. “BGH is committed to assuming the role of providing acute mental health services for Leeds & Grenville and South Lanark,” states Hugh Bates, Chair of the Board of Governors. “We have been working with the affected organizations for years to get to this point, and look forward to a positive response to our proposal by the Minister. BGH appreciates the strong support of the SE & Champlain Local Health Integration Networks, and thanks them for their efforts in getting the issue to this critical decision-making point.” The Health Services Restructuring Commission directed the transfer of the acute mental health services from the Brockville Mental Health Centre Site to Brockville General Hospital in 1998. Since that time, at least three plans have been prepared on how the transfer could occur. The current plan involves the renovation of the third floor of the Charles Street Site of BGH to provide accommodations for the acute mental health services.
