MONTGOMERY SCHOOL AND. CHARTERED BUSES WE'RE Ken Keyes addresses Bruce Chapter RNAO The Bruce Chapter of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario recently in- vited Ken Keyes, MPP and Parliamentary Assistant to Elinor Caplin, to speak to the group on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The Weather Hill Inn, Port Elgin, was the site of the dinner meeting and the infor- mal discussion which followed Mr. Keyes' address. Nurses from Lucknow. Ripley, Kincardine, Southampton, Port Elgin and Owen Sound had an opportunity of discuss health care needs for their clients as well as a number of professional issues of concern. Mr. Keyes highlighted new services, both provided and contemplated, in health care today. His talk centered on communi- ty based services needed to meet the the growing needs of the elderly. According to recent projections, the number of elderly Ontarioans will increase by 50 per cent to 900,000 seniors by the year 2,000. With 96 per cent of seniors continuing to live in their own residences within the community, the indication is for a continu- ing need for a broad base of community services. Mr. Keyes was unable to pinpoint changes in the core programme for com- munity health nurses, although he did pro- mise to send additional information to those who had shown an interest in the matter. Keyes highlighted the formation of the Women's Health Bureau and the Regional Women's Services throughout Ontario. Four pilot birthing centres are currently being developed. This has occured as a result of the Ontario Task Force on Mid- wifery which produced a detailed proposal to integrate midwives into the Ontario Health Care System. The Ministry of Health is currently working on developing standards and pro- tocols for midwifery education. Elinor Caplin reactivated the Nuring Manpower Committee to identify and deal with the current shortage of nurses in the province. Lively interaction around the table developed this issue at the meeting. Equitable renumeration for added responsibility in acute care as well as com- munity services and long term care seem- ed to be the basis of the comments receiv- ed from the nurses M attendance. Recognition for added nursing skills was another hot issue that was debated during the meeting. The next meeting of the RNAO will be held Monday, April 4 at Harthy House in Walkerton. Eleanor Ross, president of the RNAO, will address Bruce County nurses on the trends in nursing.
