tricts of Algoma, : Cochrane, Ken -

(1) The ` •Governinent should

(2) Extend OH.S C to the pro-

chronics who require care :, and
supervision only: Care must be

There are 263 Private and Pub-
lic .
ublic.. Hospitals in Ontario with ap-•
proximately 6,365 Chronic ''beds.
I' have it from reliable sources
that this . is the equivalent to buil-

of the number of. beds . it could
release for active °treatment.
