months, waiting for
necessary tests to confirm or
allay their worst fears, of
heart patients' life-saving
surgery delayed for as long
as three months, of others
who have suffered heart
attacks while languishing on
hospital waiting lists.
The Government's
hospital bed allocation
scheme is based upon
bed population ratio, and
was announced on the 19th of
January this year. In the
same announcement, notice
was given of chronic care
and psychiatric care
payment schemes, details of
which were announced on
the 19th February,
The Minister of Health told
the hospitals that in 1979'80 it
would only be necessary to
have 4 beds per thousand
referral population in
Southern Ontario, and 4.5
beds per thousand in Nor-
thern Ontario, and that
hospital budgets would be
calculated according to this
new formula. Quality of
health care in the province
did not appear to be a factor
in the Government's
decision,
Needless to say, there was
strong opposition to the
Minister's proposals, and the
Government subsequently
retreated from its initial ill-
conceived co-payment
scheme for chronic care
patients which had stirred
panic in the hearts of
patients and their families.
An elaborate exemption
scheme was introduced
which rendered the fee more
of a bureaucratic and per-
sonal nuisance than it was
worth. There are still
inequities in the scheme,
which cause hardship for
some people, such as those in
wheelchairs.
No one was in favour of the
proposal to levy a
copayment fee against
patients who occupied a
psychiatric bed for more
than 60 days, and when the
forced by the courts to back
down, Hospitals stayed open.
Now, we all have to con-
tend with the problems
raised by the Government's
bed allocation scheme.
Basically, there are three
major faults with this
proposal. First of all, the
Minister realized that he
would be unable to get
support for enabling
legislation for the scheme,
he withdrew the proposal.
In connection with the bed
allocation.scherne, it is in-
teresting to note that
although it was announced
as a two-year plan, the
Government is already
talking about revising it
every year. Our worst fears
about the scheme were borne
out by the evidence heard
during the deliberations
of the Social Development
Committee.
Social scientists tell us that
the population profile of
Ontario is changing rapidly.
There is a clear need to begin
preparation for the assault of
the maturing baby boom
generation on the health-
care system. In increasing
numbers, the generation
which once crowded the halls
of schools and universities
will be crowding into doc-
tors' offices and hospitals.
The first wave may hit
maternity wards and
children's hospitals as the
women born during the baby
boom enter their peak period
of fertility. That will be
followed in the late 1980's by
a steady upward trend in
medical expenses associated
with aging.
The Ontario Liberal Party
is committed, to providing
the highest quality of health
care for the people of this
Province. In the view of
medical experts today, it is
in society's best interests to
shift away from total
reliance on institutional
hospital care and move
towards alternative forms of
care in the community.
However, the answer is not
simply to close down hospital
beds before sufficient
alternative facilities -
chronic-care hospitals,
rehabilitation centres, or
nursing homes - are in place.
You will remember that in
1976, the former Minister of
Health announced a number
of hospital closings, and an
attempt was made to justify
these closings on the basis of
"regression analysis."
Opposition Members fought
the Government on this issue
in the Legislature, and the
Government was eventually
formula is applied across the
Province in an arbitrary
way, and does not take into
account varying community
needs. Secondly, it is obvious
that the Government has no
way of determining which
hospitals are now providing
an effective and efficient
health care service to the
community,
In fact, those hospitals
which have made a con-
certed effort to be efficient
and reduce their costs are
the very ones which are
being penalized by the
Government,
Thirdly, the Ministry of
Health has demonstrated
once again that, in
discharging its primary duty
to promote the health and
well-being of the people of
Ontario, it works in an
unplanned and ad hoc
fashion. In fact, one hospital
- .Metropolitan Hospital in
Windsor - has contended that
the bed closures conflict with
this primary duty and are
challenging the Minister in
the Supreme Court,
Clearly, discussion of the
By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
province's health care
system - and particularly
hospital cutbacks - will
continue. A Small Hospitals
Conference is to be held in
the Fall. Hopefully
something constructive will
emerge from this.
The question of doctors
opting out of the OHIP
scheme is also causing
serious concern.
Meanwhile, the Minister of
Health continues to reassure
us that government cost-
cutting will not be allowed to
jeopardize the health and
welfare of Ontarians,
at the McCurdy School. In
case of rain, the show will be
held in the Huron Park
Annex.
Everyone is welcome to
attend, Playground mem-
bers will be admitted free
and visitors will be charged
$.25 per person.
A thank-you goes out to all
those who made goodies for

youngsters will be busy this

The Huron Park juveniles
finished their season on a
good note. They won their
last two games 33-23 against
Exeter and 23-17 against
West Williams, The girls
missed out on a place in the
playoffs as only the top four
teams out of six make it.
West Williams and Huron
Park were tied for fourth but
West Williams beat Huron
Park twice out of three
meetings and therefore get
into the playoffs.
It was still a good season
for the girls and they deserve
credit for the great im-
provement they showed
throughout the season. I'm
sure they will be definite
contenders next season.
Good work girls!
