However, Mr Hayes also point­ ed out, this year the ministry of health and the provincial govern­ ment recognized this erosion of capital was occurring and took steps to rectify it through the provision of additional funding. “We were fortunate to receive additional funding from the mini­ stry of health as the result of a year-over-year increase in the cost of operating the hospital,” Robert Pike told those attending the annual meeting. Mr. Pike, as chairman of the board’s finance and audit committee, made the statement during his presentation of the auditors’ report and financial statement to the annual meeting. Referring also to the change from anticipated deficit to actual surplus, Mr. Pike suggested the public should “interpret catuious- ly the meaning of a surplus”. He said three factors affect the bottom line of the hospital’s operating budget - the level of activity, funding from MOH and the extent or degree to which the hospital can control expenses. * ‘The surplus was not the result of a decrease in services, but rather in spite of an increase in services, Mr. Pike said. Unlike the normal business world where increased activity usually translates into increased revenue, the opposite is true with hospitals, he explained. In addition, it will be increasing­ ly more difficult for the hospital to control costs in the years ahead due to the anticipated increase in activity, Mr. Pike added. The hospital’s revenue during the fiscal year totalled $7,220,651 while expenses reached $6,912,856, resulting in a surplus of $307,795, according to the financial statement included in the auditors’ report from Thorne, Ernst and Whinney of London. Also in her report, Mrs. Thomp­ son said the board of governors is awaiting the presentation of the final draft of a role study for the hospital. The board’s manage­ ment committee has worked close­ ly with David Coulson and Asso­ ciates to complete the study and it has been a “learning experience” for all concerned, she said.
