Salim Remtulla, the new physiotherapy department head at AM&G since August, spoke to the hospital board Monday evening and in- formed them that he is the only full-time physiotherapist at the hospital along with two part- time physiotherapists and one physiotherapy aid. Ideally, he said, there should be three full-time physiotherapists at AM&G— two for out-patients (who comprise 60 per cent of the workload) and one for in- patients. "It is frustrating not having enough staff. There is a long waiting list of people who need physiotheraphy treatment and sometimes 12 to 15 critical days •elapse before we can get to them," he told the board. Remtulla said he would like to start an exercise program for both chronic and post -natal patients but stated that he just doesn't have the time. He is presently working on filling out a form which will allow the hospital to apply for government funds to increase its physiotherapy staff. Administrator Elmer Taylor feels that the probability of such funding is good since a government committee set up to study physiotherapy departments acrosk the province has recognized Huron Cqunty as being understaffed. "What's the point of having a facility, if we don't have the staffing," board member Gerry Gin con- cluded. Remtulla also explained to the board that all am- bulatory aids were kept in the physiotheraphy department, causing a lack of space. He said he expects relief from this problem when the ICU addition is built, allowing his depart- ment 50 per cent more space. Plan supermarket EXETER - A plan to build a large grocery outlet in downtown Exeter was presented tothetown council recently. Michael Morrish, a sales representative for Royal Trust, said he had a client interested in erecting a 15,000 square foot grocery store for a major chain and said the total transaction involved in the land pur- chase and erection of the store was in the neigh- borhood of $1,000,000.

Airport co-ordinator, Ed Scruton reported to the committee that the new 500 gallon fuel tank had been installed at the airport and should be in operation soon. He said the repair of the asphalt surface had not been completed and would probably not be done this year. In other business, secretary, Ken Hunter in- formed the committee that the Ministry of Tran- sportation and Com- munications Air Office had requested that Greer Galloway, the consultants recently hired to produce a master plan for the Goderich Municipal Airport, meet with them prior to the start of this project.
