Province's new budget
means less for hospital
EXETER - As expected, the
South Huron District Hospital fell
victim to the province's funding
freeze last week as they received
1.5 percent less funding from the
Ministry of Health.
"We received our funding alloca-
tion and it's 1.5 percent less than
what it was last year," said hospital
administrator Don Currell.
Last year South Huron received
its share of the base funding for
hospitals plus a one percent supple-
ment for being a small hospital
(less than 50 beds) and a one-half
percent one-time additional pay-
ment.
Those are both gone and as a re-
sult the hospital will have to make
due with $56,475 less and Currell
said he will only have about a
$3,000 surplus from the budget.
Exeter and Wingham
on hold for JK
CLINTON - Although there is
still some grumbling that Junior
Kindergarten is not welcomed in
Huron County, the board of educa-
tion will have the program in place
at all but two of its schools by Sep-
tember.
"People in Goderich are telling me
they don't want it," said trustee Nor-
man Pickell.
"We are proceeding with the pro-
gram where support is expressed,"
said board director Paul Carroll.
"And people signing up for the pro-
gram, including those in Goderich,
are telling us they want the pro-
gram," he said.
The bottom line is that parents are
asking for the program throughout
the county including Exeter and
Wingham where programs have yet
tc be announced due to space con-
straints.
frustee Bea Dawson said she has
been approached by parents who
want to know when these schools
will have the program.
Superintendent of programs, Ar-
nold Mathers, said he hopes to have
more information on the issue by
the June meeting.
