Form day care coalition
Between 30 and 40 day care representa-
i tis from across Ontario gathered in

for More governmentsupport for day care.
Deputy Reeve Panicle Bailey, who attend-
ed from Witgham, said the group met with
MPP Richard -Johnston of the NDP and plans
to 'meet again in early May to lobby the
provincial government. It hopes to have
betWeen 200 and 300 Concerned women and
meg at. that meeting she said.
A further meeting is being planned with
provincial and federal cabinet members at
Niagara -on -the Lake in latter May.
In the new coalition, cities and rural areas
will join forces to fight against cuts in day

o establish quality assurance program
By Hinkiffess
The Wingham and District Hospital will
heve to look at establishing a quality
assurance program to ensure it continues
meeting the standards of hospital accredi-
tatioahospital board members were told
last week.
In inforining the board of an upcoming
accreditation survey this March, Adminis-
trator Norman Hayes said quality assurance •
is one area which is being pushed very hat&
It does not necessarily mean the hospital
will do anything different in the way it
operates, he explained. Mostly it involves
establishing a system of ensuring everything
that should be done is done.
Quality- assurance "measures the quality
of care and takes the necessary steps to
attain the desired level," he added. It tries
to set criteria for. various areas of operation,
such ate -loaning and maintenance schedules
• or keeping of medical records.
These, criteria then are monitored by a
committee in "An ongoing proces' that
continues forever".
Asked by Robert Middleton whether this
• would mean more red tape and book work,
• itayes said the hospital already - is doing
most of thesethings in a less formal way. It
will require increasing bureaucratization
he said. 2
He added it would not require a full time
person to run the program in a hospital the
size of this one, so it is possible several
•hospitals could get together and share a
coordinator.
/
• Responsibility for administering thepro-
gram has been handed to the joint
conference committee, a commiftee of board
members, medical staff and administration.
, The accreditation survey is a voluntary
process by which hospitals invite an outside
panel to confirm they are meeting standard.,
• of operation and health care. The Wingham
Hospital- has passed previous surveys with
flying colours,
Core French program to increase in Huron. schools
By Stephanie Levesque
Grade 7 Core French in Huron County
elementary schools will increase from 20
minutes lessons per day to 40 minute
lessons.
The Huron County Board of Education
approved increaing, the French instruction
hours at Its January: 9 iteeting,
The boar4 had approved in principle, the
concept of increasing the French instruction
hours at a tneeting last spring, but were
going to look at the SulijOt agdin this year.
Director of education Bob Allan said' that
the Grade 7 French would increase effective
September 1984 and in September of 1985,
the Grade 8 French instruction time -will
increase to 40 ntinutes.
Core French is now being taught in the
elementary system fromi Grades 3 to 8 for 20
• minutes a clay.
• The increase falls in line with expectations
of the -Ministry of Education as outlined in its
report Ontario Schools Intermediate and
Secondary (OSIS).
Allan!' said that initially, the board had
expeeted to have to hire three new teachers
at atvadditiontil cost of about $120,000.
But he said, an attempt will be made to
increase the French instruction time by
using teachers already on staff or hiring
qualifi,1 French teachers when new teach-
crs are hired.
UM' the elementary schools can't have the
increased French time by using the above
mentioned methods, Allan said the matter
would be brought back to the board.
In other business, the board approved new
mileage rates effective January 1. The rate
will increase from 18 cents per km. to 20
dents per km. or from 29 cents per mile to 32
cents per mile.
Allan pointed out that the board's mileage
rate has been operating on an escalator
clause for the past year. At the end of
December the rate was about 19 cents per
km.
The increase is less than five per cent.
