CLINTON RES i 34111:11XST. 442.7110 Ridden says The following is a statement from Huron - Middlesex IVIPP Jack Ridden concerning the closing of Goderich tl•sycitiatric Haseital announced for April 1, 19416. ?dr. Riddell has called on Health Ministertrank Mitier to reconsider the decision regarding GPH. Mr. Riddell says: "Over the last 10 years it has become widely accepted that the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital provides excellent and , very comprehensive care.

"Services provided by the hospital include programs for detailed mental .health care. eat-putients. alcohol and drug addiction. child welfare and a psychatric active care treatment ward. It would be impossible for similar ser- vices to be offered under the auspices of a General Hospital. "Not only is Goderich Psychiatric Hospital a very modern facility, but mental health care experts the world Over agree that a unit of this size is infinitely more ef- fective than a larger unit and that. small communities are preferable to large cities for the location of this type of care centre. "Goderich has one of the highest admission rates in the Province for a hospital of this size and capacity. There are some 50 to 60 admissions and discharges each month, which alone, is testimony to the quality of the treatment provided. "The suggestion has been made that the hospital is only running at 60 percent oc- cupancy, but this is not the case. For some time, the hospital has been running at .,90 ,to 9:.! percent occupancy following the closing of one 30 bed ward because of provincially imposed restrictions. 1 canonly assume that the Minie ster of Health has been wrongly JI s all celebrate the wonder ofJesus Birthday and cherish its eternal message, we say thanks for the gift of your friendsh ip.

"As recently its tag July, the hospital received from the Canadian Council ort Hospital Accreditation. one of the foremost accreditations ef any hospital in Ontario. In the area of rehabilitation, it is one of the best itt Canada. "I fail to see how the Minister can possibly justify the decision to close down the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital -- u decision that can only be regarded as the most retrograde step in mental health care ever undertaken by the Ministry," •"'Top priority should be given to reconsideration of this situation with a view to reversing the decision to close down a facility which is making an unique and im- portant contribution to mental health care in the Province. 061.0. ,1411,4r441/, ' vh.,1*.r..Z...rrnAttY..110,,,11.71,,,,,...,.....,.4 • lt Ow wilt irtgre tot rex t atonal raitnicig wilt vary Xtly$10.110' ' t X, 2 t'ecpres4. their serievJ. con- cern that fro* longterm tinaIttint integrity et Hydro is beingwea Mr. Taytor sat the WM it st. r 4,y,10; i pow 174,,tel VIC4144 provide, a marion inglassistirkt ot only .$14 million atter battle," auto drh et, !hoar um %%hit our for a itt. outs hotitla lour trust and confidence are a pri‘ilegr—thantios to our nttrou.- MJ..
