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.
