Ontario have been made aware of the way the provincial civil servants in the, health department are doing their job. It would make anyone sick. The 'Ontario Medical Associa- tion has been on the hotseat plenty recently, and in some cases very rightfully so. A $50 million budgetary deficit in the health ministry was debated in the legislature in November and some politician's and civil serv- ants, at that time; explained the deficit as being caused by exces- sive billing on'the part of doctors. A statement released by the Ontario Medical Association sec- retary Dr. Glenn Sawyer to this newspaper points out that the provincial auditor has now solved the mystery of the missing $50 million. What was earlier described by politicians as a "medical rip-off" 'has now been found as a gross piece of mismanagement by the / Ontario Ministry'of Health. It substantiates a theory that we' have believed in for some time: "if you're locking for less effic- ient management and • skyrocketing costs, let govern- ment try to run it".
