Dr. Richard Potter this week
said the responsibility for deal-
ing with Government cutbacks
for Ontario hospital construction
and grants for active treatment
beds was solely up to local ad-
ministrations and boards of goy-
ernors,
During the exchange, op-
position Leader Robert Nixon
accused Dr. Potter of initiating
a grant policy that reflects "the
most atrocious kind of waste
of public funds or the worst
possible kind of planning."
Mr. Nixon- said the policy
will force 1200-1500 hospital
beds to be put "in mothballs".
Dr. Potter replied that he
felt that what the Ministry was
saying was that there are ap-
proximately 1200-1500 active
treatment beds that are not nec-
essary at the present time for
the proper care of patients.
