If this were done, it is considered advisable to add operating rooms. The probable cost of this addition would be $340,000 with grants estimated at $160,000. The problem facing all hospital boards is to find funds to provide the hospitalization which is requir- ed, and everyone's problem is to decide on the manner by which these funds should be raised. As public institutions, hospitals must accept all those persons whom the attencling physicians admit. This includes residents of this and neighboring counties, tourists and others who require hospital care while in this area. The decision regarding the discharge of a pa- tient from the hospital is made by the attending physician. A few years ago this County Council instituted a plan which detailed the amount of assistance which would be given to hospitals to aid in construction. For this help, the Boards are grateful. However, the introduction of the National Health Plan, while assist- ing in many ways, has posed many problems for hospital boards. There is a widespread erroneous belief that the hospitals are now maintained by, federal and pro- vincial grants. Boards have tried to show that capital funds must still be raised by local municipali- ties. The hospital boards of Huron County welcome this opportunity of discussing problems with you and believe that a comprehensive study should be made. The mem- bers of the boards are willing to assist you by supplying any infor- mation regarding the financial position of the hospitals, by furn- ishing details of proposed exten- sions and by informing ratepayers of the needs. Answer Questions Certain questions have been ask- .. • ed frequently. •The following are the ones for which you may seek answers: 1. Why are hospital rates higher now than they were in 1958? Formerly there was a daily rate for hospital care, but there were many extras. Now the rate is all inclusive providing room, nursing care, tests, drugs, X-rays, the use of operating rooms, etc. Formerly in many cases a patient wondered whether certain treatment was nec- essary or .if it could be afforded. Doctors, knowing the financial pos- ition of a patient, probably hesi- tated to recommend extras. Now, the doctor usually recommends the best available treatment. While this may increase the daily rate, it may reduce the length of the hospital stay. 2. How are funds provided for new equipment and new services? Such funds must be raised by the boards or from gifts •by organ- izations, firms or from bequests. In this regard it should be noted that people of a community de- sire the improvement and exten- sion of hospital services. However, this must be within reason and is, of course, dependent upon avail- able funds. 3. How does the Ontario Services Commission pay the hospitals for care provided? - At stated times, hospitals sub- mit reports showing the names of patients, the insurance number, etc. The payment for these servic- es is then made. You will under- stand that the delay in these pay- ments causes the boards to carry a bank overdraft. This amount is very large at times. Interest charg- es are the responsibility of the hos- pital. • v1g GGRED�T P CANVASSER • The Accredited FAME Canvaoser must wear this iden- tification badge. G DEBENTURE ISSUE 0,ir card ed.nfi5..

What happens to the •revenue resulting from the difference be- tween ward rates and semi -private and private room accommodation? Fifty per cent of this amount is forwarded to the Ontario Hospital Services Commission and the re- mainder is retained by the hospi- tal. 5. How has the National Health Plan aided the hospitals? Hospitals now provide care for all persons who need it. For all those persons who have hospital insurance, payment is guaranteed which means that certain difficul- ty in collecting some accounts have been removed. Of course, hospitals wish that everyone would avail himself of the opportunities provid- ed by hospital insurance. Hospitals as public institutions, desire to serve the whole community." Council referred the problem to its Executive Committee for dis- cussion with the hospitals. MANY USES FOR MICA Mica is an important- mineral which is found in quantity in India and Madagascar.
