estimated annual cost of $23,000
per person, that is $63 per diem..
Stuart Smith first asked .the
Government to provide a copy of
this repOrt .9n • i 'ay 6th, 1976.
VVhen the government refused to
make thereport public, we, openly
speculated that it would confirm
suspicions that children. with
similar problems were being
treated in different facilities, each
charging different rates. Money
-is, therefore, lavished needlessly
on Health facilities at the high
end of. the per diem scale while
Community • and-Social Service
faclities barely survive at the low
end of the per diem scale.
Only days before , the Report
was finally to bled, he 'raised the
issue again in the House, making

same time, Central Toronto Youth

ServiceS-•r published a booklet
entitled "priorities which arrive
at conclusions similar to those in
the Interministry Report.' ,
• Now that:this forthright report
has been made ,public, we can
only hope'. that much- needed
reforms will soon be made.
Margaret Campbell, Liberal MPP
(Sti-George) has called upon the
Government to establish a public
enquiry with powers to
recommend immediate and far-
reaching reforms' to improve the
treatment of distidbed children in „„
.the Province, and at the same

expenditure.

This report is highly critical of
Plcsyhouse- the Government's administration
of residential services. It notes
'that 23 separate residential

systems are at prese nt in o peration under previ cial
legislation and .supervition.
In connection with the
programs which are intended to
serve Children and 'young* adults, , . _
' the report underlines the
necessity 'of far-reaching reforms
in this area • of provincial • jurisdiction. It states, for
example, that 'our uncontrolled

found, apparently, that 'there

'differences in staff ratios were
almost wholly- responsible• for

the very real possibility of
