Staff ' Photo. kp in health services blamed for long stay The problem of what to do with some "long -stay" patients was. discussed at•the January meeting, of the Wingham and District HoS- pital board on Wednesday even- ing. Chairman J: T. Goodall pre- sided and welcomed Dr, Clarke as a new member of the board. Reporting for the Medical As- sociation, Dr: J. C. McKim refer- red to the fact itiat 'the local hos- pital's average length of patient stay was up in December. In re- sponse to a question from another board member the doctor cited two or three cases which had caused . the above-average fi- gures.

In a second case Dr. McKim said that an elderly gentleman had been kept in hospital longer than was actually required for treatment. He referred to the cause as "social" rather than medical. The minutes of the staff meeting recorded the, admission by at least one doctor that the. "social" reason would be frowned upon by Ministry of Health officials who are trying to lower the length -of -stud figures across the province in an effort to reduce health care costs. The problem facing 'both doc- tors and hospital administrator lay in the fact that the patient had no • relatives in his home who could provide the care he needed after release from hospital. It was found that no beds in nursing homes were available for the - man; Brucelea Haven. at Walker- ton had a six-month waiting list and he was appar-ez t1y not open ta admission at Huroigview. ekedo w,4► samptly lished Huron County Home Nurs- ing Plan would not have provided for his needs, the doctor said the plan provides only eight hour a day nursing and the patient in question had no one to stay with him the remaining 16 hours. Several board members ex- pressed interest in the case be- cause it is an obvious example of a gap in medical services • which has' existed for many years and has become more drastic with the insistence by provincial authori- ties that bed use in hospitals be reduced. Mrs. I. E. Morrey, hospital ad- ministrator, has pointed out on many previous occasions, the need for an intermediate -type hospital set-up which could pro- vide adequate convalescent care. Communications Board secretary John Strong read letters from three area councils, 'designating their nomi- nees for the 1973-74 hospital board of governors. A, letter from Kin- loss Township named Wallace Conn ; Morris Township, Mel Craig and Howick, Robert Gib- son. Hospital statistics for the month of December as reported by Mrs. Morrey showed total ad- missions of 230 patients; 241 dis- charges, nine deaths, 142 opera- tions, 82 emergency treatments, 731 outpatients, 520 x-rays, 41 blood transfusions, 4,685 labora- tory tests, 108 electrocardio- grams,r.26 at cancer clinic, 3,119 physiotherapy treatments. Daily average of Retient* was 01 during themonths. Finance Barry Wenger, chairman of the finance committee, announced the newly -approved room rates for the hospital. The general ward rate will be . $51.10 per day, as compared with $47.45 last year. The Odra charge for a, pri- vate room will be $9.45 ($9.00 last year) and for semi -private $5.75 ($5.50 last year). Total revenues for the month were $137,653.17; disbursements and bank charges $134,185.70 for a book surplus of $3,467.07. Robert Ritter, chairman of the management committee, read the report of the nursing staff as submitted by Miss Norris and the staff health service report, which showed a total of 56.5 days.of sick leave absence: There were 79 ambulance calls. Mr. Ritter also saidat Gordon B5xter of Wink h b. AJi � 1., . i nn treasurer et ec ive ' e secd January. Chairman Wallace Conn's re- port for the proprty committee listed work done by the mainte- nance 'staff, both . new installa- tions and repairs throughout the buildings, among which was the installation of a new dryer in the laundry. Dr. McKim inquired about the, completion ' date of piped oxygen and suction which has been de- layed for many months. The ad- ministrator said the work should be completed within a week and' blamed slowness of suppliers for the delay. Medical Staff Dr. McKim, reporting for the medical staff, referred to min- utes of a recent meeting at which admission and discharge prole- lures were closely examined in an effort to comply with the prov- ince -wide demand for better usage of hospital beds. He said that some doctors' records are still delinquent and an effort is being made to keep them up to date. Mrs. K. M. MacLennan said that the Hospital Auxiliary had again provided prizes for the hos- pital windows decorated by staff members and presented a gift for the New Year's baby.
