This week is also circus week for Dash- wood youngsters. The Huron Park juveniles finished their season on. a good note. They won their last two games 33-23 against Exeter and 23-17 against West Williams. The girls missed out on a place in the playoffs as only the top four teams out of sik make it. West Williams and Huron Park were tied for fourth but West Williams beat Huron Park twice out of three meetings and therefore get into the playoffs. It was still a good season for the girls and they deserve credit for the great im- provement they showed throughout the season. I'm sure they will be definite contenders next season._ Good work girls! The Huron Park peewees still have two games left league play.

The Government's hospital bed allocation scheme is based upon bed population ratio, and was announced on the 19th of January this year. In the same announcement, notice was given of chronic care and psychiatric care payment schemes, details of which were announced on the Nth February. The Minister of Health told the hospitals that in 1979 80 it would only be necessary to have 4 beds per thousand referral population in Southern Ontario, and 4.5 beds per-thousariJl in Nor- thern Ontario, and that hospital budgets would be calculated according to this new formula. Quality of health care in the province did not appear to be a factor in the Government's decision. Needless to say, there was strong opposition to the Minister's proposal's, and the Government subsequently retreated from its initial ill- conceived co -payment scheme for chronic care patients which had stirred panic in the hearts of patients and their .families. An elaborate exemption scheme was introduced which rendered the fee more of a bureaucratic and per- sonal nuisance than it was worth. There are still inequities in the scheme. which- cause -hardship for some people, such as those in wheelchairs No one was in favour of the proposal to levy a copayment fee against' - patients who occupied a psychiatric bed for more than 60 days, and when the forced by the courts to back down. Hospitals stayed open. Now., we all have to con- tend with the problems raised by the Government's bed allocation scheme. Basically, there are three major faults with this proposal. First of all. the Minister realized that he would be unable to get support for enabling legislation for the scheme, he withdrew the proposal. In connection with the bed allocation.scheme, it is in- teresting to note that although it was announced as a two-year plan, the. Government is already talking about revising it every year. Our worst fears about the scheme were borne out by the evidence heard during the deliberations of the Social Development Committee. Social scientists tell us that the population profile of Ontario is changing rapidly. There is a clear need to begin preparation for the assault of the maturing baby boom generation on the health- care system. In increasing numbers, the generation which once crowded the hails of schools and universities will be crowding into doc- tors' offices and hospitals. The first wave may hit maternity wards and children's hospitals as the women born during thg baby boom enter their peak period of fertility. That will be followed in the tate 1980's by a steady upward trend in medical expenses associated With aging. The Ontario Liberal Party is committed to providing the highest quality of health care for the people of this Province. In the view of medical experts today, it is in society's best interests to shift away from total reliance on institutional hospital care and move towards alternative forms of care in the community. However, the answer is not simply to closedown hospital beds before sufficient alternative" facilities - chronic -care hospitals, rehabilitation centres, or nursing homes - are in place. You will remember That in 1976. the former Minister of Health announced a number of hospital closings, and an attempt was made to justify these closings on the basis of "regression analysis." Opposition Members fought the Government on this issue in the Legislature, and the Government was eventually BARBECUE SPECIAL APPROX. 10 lbs. T-bone steak 10 lbs.

Secondly., it is obvious that the Government has no way of determining which - hospitals are now providing an effective and efficient health care service to the community. In fact, those hospitals which have made a con- certed effort to be e'tficient and reduce their costs are the very ones which are being penalized by the Government. Thirdly, the .Ministry of Health has demonstrated once again that, in discharging its primary duty to promote the health and well-being of the people of Ontario, it works ' in an unplanned and ad hoc fashion. In fact, one hospital - Metropolitan Hospital in Windsor -'has contended that - the bed closures conflict with this primary duty and are challenging 'the Minister in the Supreme Court. Clearly, discussion of the By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron -Middlesex province's health, care system - and particularly hospitaL. cutbacks - will continue. A Small Hospitals Conference is to be held in the Fall. Hopefuiiy something constructive will emerge from this. The question of doctors opting out of the OHIP scheme is also causing serious concern. Meanwhile, the Minister of Health continues to reassure us that government cost- cutting will not be allowed to jeopardize the health and welfare of Ontarians.
