Burkhart photo) Wingham hospital nevi's RNA school by Mike Robinson Wingham and District Hospital CEO Lloyd Koch is pleased with the positive support by the public for Wingham's RNA school which is in jeopardy because of government cutback. Ongoing discussions are underway to extend the .life of the school for one additional year. On May 13, Mr. Koch met with Linda Tennat in. the Ministry of Health, along with her staff mem- bers, administrative assistants from Ruth Grier's and Paul Klopp's office, as well as representatives from the five other RNA programs. The group presented its request to continue funding the RNA programs for one more year in order for them to explore other sources of funding. He said a recommendation would be sent to the Ministry and that they would get back with a decision. He' noted the letters of support from hospitals in Huron County, Luckn KNECHTEL 500 g.

He added the public support around the issue has been 'outsta- nding' and well informed. Statistics Things are not always what .they seem, as recent statistics at the Wingham and District Hospital have shown. April was a busy month with 1,599 patient days compared to 1,437 last year. The operating room and O.P.D. were also busier, he said In the report he noted the average length of stay for the month was 709.7 days. The 'blip' was due to the discharge to a nursing home of one patient who had been at the hospitals for five and three quarter years -- the remainder_ of the patients were only in between five and 10 days. However, the length of stay is calculated on all the days of stay for all patients discharged during the month - an aberation is created when one long-term patient is dis- charged. . Pay equity The Wingham and District Hospital Board ,of Governors is frustrated that it cannot implement pay equity to its staff. Hospital CEO Lloyd Koch said the problem is that the board requires approval by the pay equity commission to get things rolling. Last month, the board gave its approval to post the pay equity plan subject to the approval of a pay equity officer -- but as of yet the hospital has not received approval of the pay equity officer. Mr. Koch said he has spoken to that person about the frustration being created by the delays. Ht,}tever, up to this point all he has received are promises for the officer to get in touch with the hospital soon. "I would like to get this issue settled, but feel it would be inap- propriate to proceed without the approval of the pay equity commis- sion," said Mr. Koch. He said both he, the board and the staff are frustrated by the lack of progress and the mixed messages being sent by the commission.
