LEE JAMIESON

It could be at least six months before a proposal to include Oamaru Hospital in the South Canterbury District Health Board area is put to the public. Waitaki District Health Services (WDHS) directors are looking at how a boundary change might work and how funding and services would transfer from the Southern District Health Board (SDHB) to South Canterbury. Health services chairman George Berry advised Waitaki District councillors last week that any such arrangement would need to involve the continuation of a full range of services. In his six-monthly report to the council’s finance, audit and risk committee, Berry said it was possible further services could be provided locally, supported by a ‘‘closer base hospital to service the district’’, at Timaru. Waitaki people would be asked to give their views when all the relevant information was available. This could take at least six months to achieve, though a progress report might be ready to be presented to councillors by June 30. Berry said there were many similarities between South A scene from last year’s TV3 documentary ‘‘A Year at Oamaru Hospital’’. It will be some time before the North Otago community knows if the hospital will fall under Canterbury and North Otago ‘‘in the South Canterbury District Health Board. terms of population demographics and health service requirements’’ issue of whether Waitaki District bed numbers would drop to meet health services in Waitaki should can go out to the public’’. which were ‘‘not reflected to the would be better served north or a predicted 10 per cent funding cut not be unreasonably The council committee was same extent with the southern south, by the Dunedin or Timaru in 2017/18. compromised, he said. also advised the WDHS company board and Dunedin’’. base hospitals.’’ It was also undertaking a full, Waitaki mayor Gary Kircher had an operating loss of $36,623, ‘‘Such a review would provide WDHS continued to negotiate clinically-led review of services. said a workshop would work while the trust had an operating a once in a generation funding with the SDHB following Its directors remained concerned through the scenarios so that profit of $79,818, in the six months opportunity to reconsider the an announcement last month that that the range and quality of something ‘‘a bit more concrete to December 2015.

Claim Challenged A claim up to a million more cows would be needed for peak production at Fonterra’s expanded milk plant has been challenged by an influential dairy advocate. At the hearing this week, Coal Action Network Aotearoa claimed between 550,000 and one million additional cows would be needed to help the expanded Studholme factory meet its targets. Network member Jeanette Fitzsimons said that was equivalent to dropping a city the size of Jakarta on South Canterbury, without a sewerage plan. The rationale behind the claim was queried by the commissioners this week, and Federated Farmers dairy chairman Andrew Hoggard on Friday said they were well off the mark. The two proposed milk driers would use ‘‘nine million litres a day at peak milk production and the average cows produce 25 litres daily so that’s only 360,000 cows’’, Hoggard, who was not in for the hearing, said. The figure appeared to assume the factory would be full and running all year round, provided for by ‘‘a constant stream of cows’’, he said. ‘‘There’s not much in the way of winter production in South Canterbury and Otago,’’ Hoggard said. Federated Farmers dairy chairman Andrew Hoggard disputes a claim that the proposed expansion of Fonterra’s Studholme dairy factory will mean up to a million It may even be outdated: the more cows are required to supply it.

While it would be nice to have full ophthalmology (eye-specialist) services in Oamaru, we just don’t have the population base to justify it. However we are fortunate in that we have two highly skilled, experienced ophthalmologists who take turn-about coming to Oamaru once a month from Dunedin. Last year I interviewed Logan Mitchell. This year it is Casey Ung’s turn! Dave: So Casey, you have been a regular (bi-monthly) visitor to Oamaru for some time now. Tell me, what do you think of Steampunk? Casey: I love it although I could never pull off wearing any of the costumes/ paraphernalia. The intricate work and attention to detail amazes me. Dave: Have you ever met a blue penguin? Casey: Not personally but many years ago, my (now) wife and I watched the penguins at Oamaru with the blue penguin tours. Dave: What is the biggest frustration you face working in the public sector? Casey: The shortfall in funding which translates into unacceptable delays in follow-up and treatment. Dave: Your role has changed a bit recently. What has changed for you and will you keep coming to Oamaru? Casey: I still travel to Invercargill every week, and have public clinics in Alexandra and Oamaru (alternating monthly). I share the Oamaru clinics with Logan Mitchell. Dave: What possessed you to spend 15+ years of your life training to become an eye specialist? Casey: During my first year of work in Brisbane I was lucky enough to be “called-up” to fill the position of Eyes Senior House Officer, and I really enjoyed working with the registrars. Then, when I came to Dunedin, I worked with Prof Molteno and the other consultants/registrars and decided that these were people that I would like to try and emulate, for their passion and dedication. Plus, how many jobs allow you to play with lasers?!! Dave: After Oamaru, what is your most favourite place in the world? season. Casey: Any place that has got a good seafood restaurant. A new Dave: What do Oamaruvians need to do better to have healthier eyeballs? Casey: Without sounding too “preachy”; have a healthy diet, no smoking and regular check-ups with your optometrist from the age of 50 at least. A new style. Dave: And on a more serious note - do eyeballs really pop out if you sneeze without closing them? Casey: The short answer is no. And, in case you’re wondering we (as eye surgeons) do not take patient’s eyes out when performing cataract or squint surgery. * 50% o your second pair! Dave: Thanks for clearing that up!
