Hospitals to get allocation increase
TORONTO - The Minister of Health, Mur-
ray Elston, announced that all hospitals in
Ontario will receive an increase of four per
cent in their basic allocation for 1986-87. In
addition, the budget increase provided to
the ministry will permit a further 4.3 per
cent increase for growth and enhancements .
in hospital programs. Overall, the increase
in provincial spending on hospitals amounts
to 8.3 per cent over. the 1985-86 budget.
These increases will bring total hospital
spending by the ministry to over $4.6 billion:
In making this announcement, the govern-
ment is emphasizing its commitment not on-
ly to maintain the basic components of the
health care system, but also to recognize the
workload pressures in hospitals and provide
funds for growth and enhancements in the
system.
The additional 4.3 per cent will provide
for:
- the completion of funds for ministry -
approved programs started in 1985-86;
1 bringing into full operation the three new
hospitals which opened in 1985-86; •
- growth in life-support programs in
designated major and teaching hospitals
(these include renal ,dialysis, car-
diovascular ' surgery, chemotherapy, total
parenteral nutrition, and perinatal health) ;
- workload increases due to .hospitals
treating more patients;
The winner!
Sandra Balfour of Sandy's Cord Shoppe
presents first prize In our Grand Open -
Ing Draw to Wynne Homuth of Clinton.
Thanks to all who stopped in and
- an extra one per cent for hospitals with
fewer than 50 beds.
"The ministry has been authorized to ap-
prove funding for new programs to be
started in the next fiscal year. The annual
cost of these programs will total $54
million," Mr. Elston said.
"The government is increasing its spen-
ding on this essential component of the
health care system at a rate which is much
greater than the rate of inflation. This com-
mitment is being made at a time when the
federal government is threatening, starting..
in 1986-87, to reduce the funds for health
care transferred to the province. Our
government will maintain its commitment
to ensuring that the health care system in
this province is aciequatety tunded.'
"1n order to facilitate budget planning in
the public sector, the increase in the basic
allocation for 1986-87 has been announced
much earlier than in previous years and, in
addition, the 1987-88 increase in basic alloca-
tion of four per cent is also being announced
at this time. Inflation has stabilized around
this level and this should be reflected in
public sector salaries and other costs of
operation.
"I am certain that the announcement of
the increase in basic allocation for both next
year and the year after will permit the
hospitals to plan their budgets with greater
certainty and allow hospitals to plan effec-
tively for the provision of adequate and ef-
fective services."
