Electrical Heath n g; Seaifo rah: Es:timati I Have prepared --a financial ret port 4f the : operations . of . the cor- poration° of. the County • of Huron for the time -Month .period ending March 31, 1959. The excess of rev- enue over expenditure .for: this per,' lad "is $5,745.30. Calculating. the above-mentioned surplus, 1 have taken into account onequarter of the 'county rates. which normally would apply to this period of time,.. and also .one; quarter of the debenture charges for "the. same, period. The appropri- ate aecounts; receivable and pay- able for the "same period of time have been taken into account and bee duly charged and credited where necessary. , Also attached are financial state- ments for•the.other accounts which are under our jurisdiction. These accounts are also for the three- month period ending March 31, 1959: Also attached herewith isa state- ment of revised estimates for the balance of the fiscal period to De= ceiilber 31, 1959, and fromthe ex- perience of the first: three months' surplus; the antit:ipated revenue and :expenditures::.far;the balance of the year is naw' estimated at: Revenue, $1,679,982:00; ' ,Expendi- tures, $1,659,520,00, We should 'eon- plete ; our year with an estimated surplus 'of $20,462.00. s (These esti- mates' are . based on the following mill rates: .General, 6.9; High- ways, 7.00). There are a' few variations in the over-all picture of the estimates presented in January, but the only. notable changes are r. in Child' Wel- fare, which seems to .have: been rather heavy-forthe first quarter of -the year; therefore, the estimate has been increased. slightly; „bow- ever,rr:othe'r estimates have been reduced, so thatthe over-all pic- ture • has not ',changed other _than 'increase -in .the..road .nii1Lrate; sev- en mills as ;.per instructions of. county council' at the March ses- sion. -Sirice`lanu"a`ry 1st ` there. have been three.inereases minterest rates;',whereas we wereborrowiag at 5%. at the beginning of the year, the rate increaseYI to 5? -4%, and at the time of • writing this report, --'it has increased.' to •53 %Q. 'This m- crease in • harrowing willhave further effect. on our cost for 'the debenture purposes relative. to the building • of the.' addition to the County IIome. Inflation of the past few, .years has Continued and,: it _appear§. that there is no.immedi- ate change in -other direction. The 'Work. as; a whole in ' our of=1 fives has 'been'ever increasing:; and also -the work at.,the County Home. has increased. greatly; and will=con- tinue,to do so.'Your county Home` Committee Jfoµnd it advisable , to transfer some of the `.:office ,Work carried on by, Mr. Johnston<.to this :office ' and; as- a result, it was nec- essary : ,to: hire additional staff which,.,. will be reported by: the 'County. Home,. Committee' in; their :report It has..allowed'�our .regular work .to carry on in usual manner: and at ,the same time has relieved_ the ,situation;=;at the County. Horne During' the past few months we have; investigated the possibilities of recovering various amounts. from certain rta n estates :"and �� at the time of writing the: report, we, have' collected'. $4,403.98, . and we have pending under : investigation a total of $10,990.00, `which We' ;an tieipate we will receive at a later With reference to the problem indigent, patients who are • at; air present- time insured. by the 0 tario Hospital' scheme, it won appear that in the 'majority of ca es, • hospital ' bills Aor this type patient will •'be ,covered •under 't Ontario Hospital plan.- However, -when_ a: patient is _a witted to hospitl,: the necessar forms ;are ...made out b the physician and sent to Toronto The doctors in Toronto.: assessth particular case and advise the hos pital the number of days for -•whi • they will pay hospitalisation' costs Two' weeks prior to the end` of thi time,,if if' the patient is still , in -'hos pital, the doctor must complete further -.form, submit :thus to Toron to' and they in' turn'will either ex tend. the length' of time for hos- pitalization• coverage,. or will'. ad- vise they wilt no, longer; pay beyond a certain date. '. It : is at this time the problem ane s s as to where 'the ,the patent. is to 'go if he. leaves, or, -if he. stays in'hospital,, who is to ,pay the cost.. At the present,;time, :limited ac- c mm k odation .is .'available for' this type of patient. •The patient shduld be,. wherever possible, kept within a short distance' of his: home sur- roundings and his own: 'physician. In order to do this, it would be necessary to -have a nursing home in each' area capable of looking af- ter these people:as, required.from time to tithe. Therefore, -your problem` of ,the welfare" of. the people • of the coun,-' ty will,fall into at least three.tate, gorier: active medical .require- ments for. ' your local, hospitals; •certain' types of thedical care for your nursing ' homes, and - other -types of, medical care, for your County Home., tt_discussing this problem with •medical authorities, they are • of the opinion -all' three types of accommodation : are 'nec- essary. . At the time,or preparing this`in- formation, we realize" there is a problem in connection. with accom- medation but not • as acute "as, it appeared -seine time. ago;;however, in view of the Method..follow: 4 _by the Ontario Hospital • Commission -in limiting the Number of days under which they will pay hospitalization, this problem Could be one which could- reoccur from time' to time; therefore we must -'look to . the fu- ture to prepare ourselves. for any such emergency. • It might be pointed out to mem- bers of counci that once an 'inrli- gent -falls' into the ;category d non- active in the. eyes • of the; ltospital Commission, , he no longer' mean • .be classified ifs' an indigent hospital patient; ",therefore' the .statutory payments -required by'„.the iuuniei= polity and the grants to,the county of e 11- s- heofd- • s - d- ry Y e ch s a ur lis n meats would have to be 'made the local municipality for the pay- ment of the account, or arrange a transfer to a licensed nursing home or to the County Home; - Several former indigent patients are now insured by the county and :at• the. present time we are paying" premiums, on 54 patients- at a"cost of 4$128,10 per month. 1 sincerely hope that our offiee has been able to supply members of council with any information they have required.
