Wingham hosp., UWO sign training agreement
Wingham and District Hospital
has signed an agreement with the
University of Western Ontario
which would allow Master's level
medical students to train in com
municative disorders in Wingham.
Wingham Hospital Chief Execu
tive Officer Lloyd Koch says of the
agreement signed May 3, "It is a
positive note for the hospital
because the university accepts the

budget by 1998.
Also, though there are no new
taxes, the promise of more people
working will mean an increase in
tax revenue. "People have never
really minded paying taxes, but
when they have no jobs and see
those taxes getting higher that's
when they have concerns," Mr.
Klopp said.
To promote employment, the
NDP has been working with the
private sector for jobsOntario pro
grams, and plans to invest $90 mil
lion into it this year.
Mr. Klopp also feels that the
changes to the Employer Health
Tax will provide incentive for hir
ing. The budget outlines that
employers who expanded their pay
roll after May 1 will not have to
pay the EHT on that increase for
staff and training which can be pro
vided by this facility."
"UWO is pleased to have us as a
training hospital for their students
and we are pleased to be able to
assist them," he says.
"We will be able to expose the
students to working in a rural set
ting and it may be a benefit for
recruiting."

the first year.
"A number of Acts are being
changed to help with the set up of
local industries," said Mr. Klopp.
"This is a foundation that will build
as the economy builds."
The budget provides $35 million
in tax incentives to small and medi
um-sized firms that invest in
research and development in the
province, as well.
Noting that the budget is continu
ing on the same track that the gov
ernment had planned over the
course of the past few years, Mr.
Klopp said he feels the plan is
working. "One of the first priorities
was to make a government that
would learn to live within its
means. I feel we've done that and
because of that things have started
to turn around. There is a positive
attitude about that."
Director for Rehab Pat Petrek says
the first student has already begun
her home care portion of the pro
gram and will be coming to the
hospital for training in mid June.
"The eight week placement is a
requirement for Master's students
in speech language pathology and
involvement in this project will
hopefully create an interest in the
students for working in smaller
hospitals once they see the chal
lenge and the quality of work
which is done," she says.
