Just what is going on here?

The local Hospice Associations are sending mixed messages, probably to the detriment of its volunteers. In a letter published in the NorthumberlandNews here, the Chair of the Campbellford Hospice extols the virtues of the organisation. Now we have a letter, sent to all the Staff and volunteers of the Hospice Associations see here on the LHIN website, proclaiming the process of "voluntary integration" of amalgamating the two Hospice Associations with the County's Community Care organisation.
Interestingly enough, on that webpage we have an announcement that 1% of the LHIN's funding will be devoted to 'community funded health providers'. so the other shoe drops and it's another Biron masterpiece. Shut down the hospital clinics - score a brownie point for an 'integration process' and attach the palliative care to the ongoing moves to the amalgamation of hospice care - score another one for an 'integration process' and now you have two big brownie points for extra hospital funds by outsourcing, closing and connecting.
