T e Minister's action in closing a major, efficient and progressive hospital without prior discussion at a local level, arid indeed without apparent reason at any level, would appear to be bOth arrogant and ignorant. Questions , regarding 'the Minister's resignation 'inevitably arise. Should a lawyer, an architect, a pilot, a doctor, or any other man in a responsible position in this society exhibit gross professional ignorance and,. arrogance which endanger the welfare and livelihood of other people, he would, not only be "asked to resign" but he would almost certainly „find himself out of a job and possibly into a court .of law as well. Arid rightly so. If a Minister of the Provincial Government can behave in a 'similar rnanner and continue unquestionably in office then 'we have in effect one la -W—TOr government ministers and one law for the rest of society; that is to sax we, have a totalitarian state. The implications •of • the , Goderich Psychiatric Hospital closure are extremely serious, not onlyfor those sick people who are to be deprived of this facility, not only for numerous hospital employees concerned and .not only for the other ancillary-services which rely on the GPH for their proper functioning. The impli cations of this Closure are serious for every man. woman and child in Ontario since it sets a precedent and establishes a principle that a government official can, without any reason being given, _deprive the people of what is rightfully theirs. Furthermore, the same government offiCial can apparentlj, , refuse to provide reasons for his action and can refuse to reverse his decisions in the face of the . expressed vvisheS of the majority, e community; this is in itself a direct .ne tion of the democratic process, ••., If 'this precedent is • •allowed to pass unchallenged, the liirther implications are truly horrendous insofar as there is nothing to stop the ProvinCial Government closing general hospitals at will ant) indeed closing down other public , facilities such as: ambulance services,. police forces, etc. . There are apparently two currently' circulating misconceptions regarding closure of the Goclerich Psychiatric Hospital. The first of these is that the Provincial Government in some way "owns" the hospital and can do with it what it will, All Ontario Hospitals are financed directly or indirectly from public funds and are the property of the people of Ontario; the' Ministers of the Provincial, Government are paid considerable salaries and receive considerable fringe benefits from their positions as administrators and. 'custodians of these communally owned facilities. The .second current misconcept ion' is that health se-vices in this Lrovi'nce are becoming prohibitively expensive. the" government's own figures show quite. conclusively that health and hospital costs have certainly not been taking an increasing portion of the Gross Provincial Product. Interim budget figures show that the total provincial' government evrkditures for all health services in 1974 arnounted. to $2.525 billion; this represented-. 4.4% of Ontario's Gross Provincial Product .Of .$57.3 4975 Budget estimates show health expendi- tures of $2.886 billion and a GPP of $64.5 billion; again a rate of 4.4%: Not only is • there no evidence there of runaway spending, but the rate •is actually lOwer than it was in 1970 (4.5%), 1971 (4.7%), and 1972 •(4,5%). A study of Ministry of Health annual reports also reveals that the public hospitals' share of the GPP has not increased at all in recent years. Although actual gross operating . costs have apparently risen from $860 million in 1970 to an estimated $1.64 billion in 1975, the GPP, percentage has remained remarkably constant; 1970 - 2.4%; 1971 - 2.5%; 1972 - 2.5%0; 1973 - 2.4%; 1974 - 2.4%; 1975' - 2.5%. Even the increase in gross operating costs, adjusted far an annual inflation rate of say 12%, do not provide any evidence of runaway spending. This suggests considerable success, ,on the part of the public hospital management in controlling costs while maintaining a, high level of health care services. It also is interesting to, point out that at' a Federal level, as Mr. Lalonde recently said, Canada's rate of 'overall health• spending is declining (Canada has apparently reduced its rate of health spending to less, than 7% of'the gross national product while in other countries' this spending continues to go up and in Sweden and the United States now accounts for 8% of the GNP):--- One suspects the real reason for the closure-C the Goclerich Psychiatric Elos ifal is a petty matter of financial ling of differential F ederal grants with spect to psychiatric hospitals and mental etardation centres. The prinaPies a'i'd practice .surrounding the closure are nevertheless so important and so serious in relationship to the continuity of what has been a democratic Community that I again suggest that serious questions must he asked regarding the, resignation of the current Minister of Health. Government today appears to be carried out by politicians rather than statesmen.. I think we would nevertheless do well-to bear in mind the words of at least one statesman, George Washington, who said "Goverrintene is not reason, it is not eloquence - it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irrespOnsible action." The Minister's action in closing the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital is, I submit, irresponsible action.
