The arbitrariness of .the present system of bed allo- cations should be reduced by calculating the number of beds to be funded based on a weighted average number of beds, rather than the maxi- mum number of beds in use at any one point in the year. 3. The concept of referral population should be modi- fied to accommodate more fully population mixes, especially the large number of elderly people in certain hospital areas. 4. Referral population should be calculated on patient days rather than patient separations. 5. Where more than one hospital is located within a hospital centre, any pro- posed bed allocations should be divided amongst those hospitals on the basis of their share of the total referral population. 6. Recognizing that the Minister has established a Committee on Hospital Resource Allocation and Budgets, the committee has recommended to the Min- ister and the Committee on Hospital Resource Allcication and Budgets that bed allo- cation guidelines should be applied with sensitivity to the local situation and in consult- ation with local health plan- ning agencies. 7. The committee recom- mends that the ten bed cushion continue indefinitely; 8. Financial rewards for efficient hospitals should be factored into the budget calculations. 9. The committee should endorse the efforts of hosp- itals, district health councils and other local health plan- ning agencies to rationalize health services where appro- priate by encouraging co- operative planning among hospitals. The committee also supports the use of independent experts to assist hospitals in examining their operations. 10. The committee recom- mends that a hospital appeal mechanism be established.
