Board ponders budget dilemma
Increased costs relating to a high occupancy rate
and an outstanding contract settlement could put the
squeeze on the hospital budget the Board of Gover-
nors of Alexandra Marine and General Hospital
learned.
The hospital has been operating at 95 per cent
occupancy ,which has "increased costs, and the
nursing staff has been without a contract since
October 1, 1980. While the Ontario Nurses Association
contract is at arbitration, the settlement, when it
comes, will involve a large cash outlay for retroac-
tivepay.
Hospital administrator, Elmer Taylor has
projected that the budget will be balanced at the end
of the fiscal year but it does hinge on the ONA con-
tract settlement. The.Ministry of Health has provided
additional funding to cover the cost of the contract
settlement, but there is no guarantee it will
adequately cover the settlement.
At August 31, the board was over budget by $42,357
but Taylor's projection called for a balanced budget
by the end of the'fiscalyear.
The Ministry of Health has already forwarded
additional funding to the board, two instalments of
$62,489 and $153,494, for 1981-82 operating costs. But,
Taylor cautioned, if the contract settlement is larger
than expected, the board would have to pick up costs
elsewhere.
"Without extra funding salaries could take us over
and the budget was not designed for 95 per cent oc-
cupancy," he said. "The budget is geared to oc-
cupancy of 85 per cent."
Dr. Michael Conlon said the occupancy rate is
much higher than expected and expressed hope that
the .Ministry would recognize the dilemma of the
board.
"We are 10 per cent over what we anticipated and
will need an extra $40,000 to $50,000," he said. "I hope
the ministry will recognize this because no hospital
should run at 95 per cent occupancy. If you run 10 per
cent over you have to pay.
While the ministry has made across the board
payments to cover the nurse's contract, ONA is
negotiating with • the Employee Relations Policy
Committee, who bargain on behalf of the hospitals.
The board can only hope the budget can ac-
cemmoclate the settlement.
"It may be close or it may not be, but the board's
position is to balance the budget," Taylor said. "If
more money is needed we may have to make
decisions to cut services.
The cost of the nurse's contract is pure speculation
at this point, but the 95 per cent occupancy rate is
leading to increased costs in every department+,of the
hospital.
"The 95 per cent occupancy rate increases costs in
every department and for the last three years there
has been a 10 per cent increase each year," Taylor
said. "The hospital just can't handle any more."
The board may receive some additional funding
from the ministry because of the increased workload,
and application has already been made. The board
should know by next month if the ministry is willing
to help out because of the increased work load.

Supreme Court decision a steal
Dear Editor:
Ref. to Constitution.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the
Constitution is legal, and that the Liberal
government can bring the B.N.A. Act home
to Canada, with an amending formula and a
Charter of Rights, legally, without a majori-
ty vote from the provinces. I believe that
this is a steel, reinforced with concrete foun-
dation foranarchy.
Because such a condition is taking place,
there must be an existing discrepancy in our
laws, to permit such a condition to become a
reality. If they proceed with this plan, in my
opinion, it will be in direct opposition to
democratic principles.. It also conflicts
strongly with the existing Constitution,
which is still in force to the best of my
knowledge, and is also legitimate.
Has the work of our Fathers of Confedera-
tion been entirely in vain? I would like to
stress the fact that when the Constitution
was put in trust with the British Parliament,
it was a unanimous decision by the Pro-
vinces and Ottawa, and any amendments
that have been made to the existing. Con-
stitution since. have not been refused when
accompanied by a majority vote.
To bring this Constitution back to Canada
without a similar unity between Ottawa and
the Provinces, would be a breaking of that
trust. I believe that the decision of the
Supreme Court, which was not precise in its
ruling, puts the public back in a similar posi-
tion before their decision was made.
It has been said that if you want a job
done, do it yourself, then you only have
yourself to blame, if it goes awry. A referen-
dum would settle it once and for all. They ,
tried polities, and the legal profession, and
the only other choice is the people.
I think, their time would be much better
served if they concentrated on the economy
of the country first, instead of • the Con-
stitution. We built a railroad from one end of
Canada to the other, .with the existing Con-
stitution. Surely we should be able to iron,
out the economy.
Sincerely,
N. J. Minaker.
You have plans.
We have plans to help.
When you're looking for individual life insur-
ance, group life and health insurance, annuities.

planning, look at what we have to offer.
