Some municipalities are beginning to speak out against a possible merger of public health units.
An expert panel recommends reducing the number of health units from 36 down to 14.

He says the region is just too large to provide public health services properly and fears service delivery will be watered down
Both Kenora and Atikokan councils have approved resolutions opposition a merger of the two health units.
