'arthritis . specialist and : re-
searcher, who spokeabout:
how as an internist he
becameattracted to the ;field
of rheumatology through ob•
serving the . excellent team

He was impressed greatly,
he said, by the devotion
shown to improve the outlook.

were identified when the hospital, entered
the program,. the savings could be applied
to, pay off the capita/: and interest:
"Tho catch-22 in this is that the hospital
must identify savings before they enter the
program,"quipped Hayes. .
Dyer told.. the hospital representatives
they- could keep . all 14 beds open, if they
could operate within last year's budget
because no hospital will receive less money
this year than they did last year. Hayes
said this would be impossible because the
hospital has already stripped the excess
from their budget.
'"I find I must apologize for operating an
efficient ship;. which is the most reprehen-
sible thing I can think of," renialiced
;.Hayes.. 0
Dyer, said he is prepared to go to cabinet
to ask the funding, be reinstated at the
Wingham Hospital forthe surplus beds
while the hospital looks at an HSO system.
Dyer said. ' the government's policy to
adhere to a guideline of 4 beds per 1,0.00
population this year is misconceived as
directed at bed closures.
The health ministry has been restricted
to a 4.S per cent increase in its budget and
the ministry must move finances around
withip the'system. The objective he said is
to find surplus active treatment beds and
close them to allow the money to be used to
provide more chronic care beds.
The hospital representatives did nor
understand : how 14 beds used for active
treatment could' be .declared surplus when
the hospital has a fulloccupancy rate all
the time. Recently there were 103 patients
in beds at the hospital.
"We are running 'a .100 bed hospital
keeping enough beds. for allthe people who
are sick," said Dr. John Bradley, "Who
takes the responsibility when we no longer
have 100 beds!?"
Mr. Hayes told the ministry officials t
hospital beds are full, "whether they
long term, 'shoat term or whatever da n
. term.,
"Our beds have active (care) patients in
active treatment beds, your guidelines
notwithstanding," remarked Hayes. "We
were told the 14'beds-were to be utilized as
Wingham saw fit."
Dyertold the meeting health care.
services are "insatiable" so some kind of
constrictions must be placed on it.
"There is no more money,". he said.. The
ministry tried to increase OHIP rates last
year to find more money for health care
and it was rejected.
Dyer said ,the ministry is prepared to
reinstate funds to meet the chronic care
needs in Wingham because the aging
population is growing, but the seven beds
not required for chronic care would be
