Please bring your folding chairs ,egaMmeeoeie Debate over hospital continues with boards The debate between the Exeter Board of Trade and the ad- ministration of South Huron Hospital continues. At a Board of Trade meeting, the executive had expressed concern "about the way South Huron Hospital is operating in respect to a lack of services," Don Webster, Board president, a diabetic, said at the meeting the hospital had to send blood samples to Stratford and that a patient in his condition could be dead before the results were returned. He had also stated that other members of the executive had personal complaints and had received them from other people about the way the hospital was run. After the statements ap- peared in the paper, Alice Claypole, hospital administrator' requested that a meeting be held with representatives of the Board of Trade. In the minutes of that meeting, it states that the hospital management committee had been assured by the members of the Board of Trade that there' would be a retraction of their statements in the next week's paper, However Webster told the T-A he had said an apology would be forthcoming only if the statements were proved to be wrong. "At this point," he said, "I'm not prepared to do that." The following are the minutes of the meeting between the hospital administration and the Board of Trade as compiled by Miss Claypole. The management committe of the hospital Board of Directors met with two representatives from the Exeter Board of Trade on May 31st, 1974. The following members were present: Harry Hayter, Board chairman; Mrs. J. G. Dunlop, chairman of the management committee; Mrs. Glenn Mickle, member of the management committee; Mr. B. Tuckey, member of the board of direc- tors; Miss A. Claypole, R.N., hospital administrator; Donald Webster, president of the Exeter Board of Trade; Norm Whiting, past president. The purpose of this meeting was to duscuss the newspaper item which appeared in the May 30th publication of the Exeter Times-Advocate, regarding the hospital, and the lack of certain services. Miss Claypole asked Mr. Webster if his concern was with regard to our -Laboratory Procedures which „have been processed at Stratford General Hospital on a regional basis for the past five years. It was also stated that the services of a laboratory technologist on an hourly basis have been obtained beginning May 27th, 1974. This technologist will perform some of the procedures which have previously been sent to the laboratory in Stratford. Lab work done on a regional basis is sent, to Stratford at 1:00 p.m. by carrier. The reports are telephoned back to this hospital by 5:00 p.m. (the only exceptions are when special requests are made for extended tests, taking more time.) South Huron Hospital laboratory has been under the supervision of Dr. M. Dietrich, chief pathologist from Stratford, since April 1st, 1974, Dr. Dietrich will be making routine laboratory inspections in his supervisory capacity. Miss Claypole explained that in the case of a serious diabetic, we can, and always have, used Ames Labstick, which has proven to be quite accurate. Mr. Webster was assured that the Labstick is always on hand and has been part of our lab supplies ever since they were first made available. Mr. Tuckey asked if any member of the Board of Direc- tors had been approached before this statement to the paper had been released. Mr. Tuckey stated that this publication certainly didn't provide good publicity for a hospital which has just been given permission from the Ministry of Health, to hire an architect and have sketches drawn up for the renovations and addition required. He felt that it was more likely to cause harm to our progress in this direction. The renovations call for the tearing down of the present administration area which is housed in the original part of the building, which was built in 1856, and for the construction of new emergency, X-ray, O.R. facilities, and a physiotherapy department in the basement rooms, as well as an elevator for transporting patients to physiotherapy. New business offices, doctors' lounge, medical records room, a small Chapel, and a Womens' Auxiliary tuck shop are also planned, Mr., Tuckey explained that the first phase of renovations would not interfere with the hospital's routine operatioh. Mrs. Dunlop explained that the hospital had been striving for accreditation and had ex- perienced a dry-run inspection in 1973, which pointed out the areas Where improvement is needed, A great many eittestioimaires had to be completed by both medical staff and all department heads, before the pre-accreditation survey was done. Mrs. Donlop feels accreditation is a necessity for.the hospital and will give it .a higher status when aphieved, It could.be late 1974 or 1975 before another accreditation team would visit this hospital. Mr, Whiting mentioned the rumours he had heard with regard to nurses being concerned that the hospital was turning into a nursing home becapse five beds had been deleted, and the number of chronic beds had been in- creased to 14. Mr. Whiting did not wish to mention any names. It was stated that it is very difficult to operate any business when there are union negotiations going on,and at the present time, the hospital has negotiations being carried on with non-professional, clerical and professional people, none of which are yet settled. Neither the Board of Directors or ,management of the hospital is against unions, but are against the manner in which unions arouse discontent among em- ployees. Miss Claypole stated that a great deal of the trouble in operating a hospital, was caused by trying to cope with part-time personnel, who want to work only the days that suit them and their families, completely forgetting that the hospital has to be open 24 hours a day, 365 days each year. At the present time, we have been successful in getting some new full-time employees, which should help the situation. With regard to the hospital becoming a nursing home — there was no mention of any such move, suggested in the role study and master program made by Agnew, Peckham & Associates, who are hospital consultants. We do have some elderly patients who are very ill, but these people must be looked after, especially when there are no nursing home beds available, and their con- ditions are terminating, Both Mr. Webster and Mr. Whiting expressed their feelings that a lack of communication on both sides, had presented a problem. Harry Hayter, newly elected chairman of the Board, stated that he hoped the news release would not cause any delay in receiving approval of our plans for renovations. Mr. Hayter said the Board was very concerned when the Ministry of Health put a freeze on building programmes until 1975. Being chairman of the Board, is a new position for Mr, Hayter and he stated that Mr. Kneale, past chairman, had attended more than 100 regular and committee meetings during his last year in office, and that he expected to learn a great deal more about the hospital, over the next two years. Both members of the Board of Trade, offered the assistance of their committees in any way in which they might be of service to the hospital building programme, Mr. Tuckey explained a coronary care unit and stated that we had been granted per- mission to purchase a crash cart and monitoring equipment, and as soon as the room could be renovated, it would be set up for temporary treatment, A physiotherapy department will be set up in the basement as soon as an elevator is installed. The members of the Exeter Board of Trade, assured the management committee that there would be a retraction of the article regarding the hospital, in this week's publication of the Exeter Times-Advocate. The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 p.m. ALBERTA (TURNER) GALBRAITH Alberta Galbraith passed away at Doctors' Hospital, Toronto, Thursday, June 6.

This portion of road is normally closed and traffic is allowed through the park on a one-way basis only during the summer months.
