Council approves planning applications
No one turned up at a public
meeting held before Bly th council
May 19 so councillors approved
two planning and development
applications.
One was a proposal to change the
zoning on part Lot 37 and 38 on
Drummond St. from Residential
Low Density to Residential Low-
Density-Status in order to recog
nize a semi-detached dwelling.
The other was to change part Lot
1 at the south east comer of Dins-
ley and Mill Streets to Residential
low Density-Status from Residen
tial Low Density to recognize an
existing clinic and accessory
dwelling unit.
The only response council had to
the proposed changes was an
unsigned letter from a local taxpay
er. But council refused to acknowl
edge the letter because it was
unsigned.
"If they don't sign, they don't
want to be heard," said Councillor
John Elliott.
Noreen Gnay, a member of the
Board of Governors for Wingham
and District Hospital gave her
annual report to council.
She said the hospital has 86 beds
Birth
People
of which 61 arc active treatment
beds and 25 are chronic care beds.
As of March 31, the occupancy rate
was 58.9 per cent.
She revealed that 72 admissions
were from East Wawanosh making
up 3.1 per cent of admissions and
51 were from Blyth making up 2.2
per cent of admissions.
Of the 16,847 patients who made
use of the Emergency-Out-Patient
Department, 744 were from East
Wawanosh for 4.5 per cent of the
total and 284 were from Blyth for
1.7 per cent of th^total she said.
For the 1991-92 year, the hospi
tal's operating budget was 9.8 mil
lion of which 80 per cent comes
from the Ministry of Health and 20
per cent is raised by the hospital.
Ms. Gnay said the cost of a day
in the Wingham hospital in 1991
was $302 and a visit to the Emer
gency department was $55.
She also told council there are 11
active doctors on staff along with
17 specialists and six dentists.
The hospital has hired a firm of
health consultants to undertake a
study to develop a long-term plan
for the hospital.
During the past year, the hospital
purchased a new operating table
and a laparascope to update its sur-
gieal services, she said. A new
anaesthesia machine is the process
of being purchased. Also, the hos
pital is being computerized with
funds from the Ministry of Health.
