,Predicts hospital
costs to soar
It looks like we will be
paying an extra $300 million
this year, for. hospital services.
Hospitals across the Province
have recently completed wage
settlements with •nurses and
other hospital workers which
will cost about $400 to .$500'
million extra per year' aecor-
din,g to the Ontario Hospital
Association.
When ;the financial estimates
for -the Ministry of Health were
introduced in Aprilithe figure
,required •for operations of
hospitals was about $1.2
billion. Since the Government
operates on a fiscal year which

special. day
A couple- of years ago, former
Health Minister Richard Potter
,decided to do something about
the high ;cost of hospitals, He
instructed hospitals to close
down beds and_ cut back' ser-
vices. This measure was sup-
posed to !save us some money,
but I have yet to -see any
sayings, f nstead the health bill
just gets larger and larger every
year.
At the time of the cutbacks,.
Dr. Potter said we would be
moving away, from expensive
treatment in • hospitals
wherever possible, and toward
treatment in less expensive ex-
tended care facilttaes sue as
nursing homes. lir. Potter im-
posed a freeze on capital con-
struction of hospitals, he gran-
ted only a 5 percent' increase to'
the operating• . budgets 'of
hospitals -and closed down
1,500 active -treatment beds.
Obviously these `,measures
we're unsuccessful in keeping
down, the cost' of what.br. Pot-
ter,- described as a "Franken-
stein monster"- our .Provincial
health bill. There has . never
been a co-ordinated approach
•
in the Ministry of Health to
really try to apply some finan-.
tial contraints on all sectors of
the health care delivery system. ,
