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."
