André Fortin underlines importance of CISSSO users committee for the Pontiac

During an interview regarding the petition to offer sample collection services at the Quyon CLSC, Pontiac MNA André Fortin commented on the current attempt by the regional health authority CISSSO to form a users and residents committee for the Pontiac region. He said that such committees are “extremely useful” in conveying the will of the local population to representatives of the health care bureaucracy.

The CISSSO recently put out a job posting for a resource person to set up such a committee. Pontiac is the only region in the Outaouais without one.

The selected person must have a good knowledge of French and English, have good organizational skills and will be tasked with recruiting members for the users committee, receiving requests from this committee and ensuring follow-ups. Interested persons can send their application by email to cuci_outaouais@sss.gouv.qc.ca or call 819 770-6528.
