In the past, the VON salaries have been kept at a level as close to parity as possible with. hospital nurses, although community health nurses' salaries have never been equal with that of hospital nurses. Not unlike the rest of the country, the Perth -Huron VON branch is finding that with escalating costs, there wilt undoubtedly be a need to increase the 1982 fee per visit in order to continue to provide the quality of care that the public is ac- customed to.
