The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-05-05, Page 5Speech services approved
The Ontario Ministry of Health has
approved an amount of $18,000 for
Alejandra Marine and General Hospital
to share the servic - of a speech
pathologist with Clinton Public Hospital.
Doctors at AM&G feel that the speech.
pathologist will be a great -benefit to the
community, especially in assisting
children and elderly stroke victims with
communicative problems. At present,
these people must travel to London for
treatment and therapy.
No to central
bargaining
In compliance with a request from the
Ontario Hospital Association to provide
comments and to take a position on the
central bargaining process with hospital
unions, the AM&G hospital board has
written a letter stating that central
bargaining should not be; \made man-
"T
be forced into central bargaining
could be very costly for some hospitals,"
explained board member Bob Dempsey.
At present, AM&G does not participate
in the central bargaining process at wage
negotiation time (although it often uses
the settlements as a guideline) and the
board cannot see the benefit in doing so
at this time.
"We like the way central bargaining is
set up now ( with each hospital being able,
to opt in or out on a voluntary basis). We
want a choice," Dempsey said.
Approves new rate
The hospital, board has approved a new
differential rate for 1982-83 at AM&G
with the cost of semi -private rooms
rising from $16 to $20 and private rooms
from $32 to $40. Such rates generally
apply to uninsured people and people
----from- other- countries -such -as -American
tourists. trip to the emergency
department would cost them $35 and a
psychiatric visit $12.
Hospital administrator Elmer Taylor
says the increases will not generate
much income for AM&G.
HOSPITAL
BRIE. FS
Five items approved
Five items totalling $3,690 were ap-
proved for purchase by the hospital
board recently—pending availability of
funds. They include a stainless steel cart
(for, the purchasing department), a
dictation system (for the psychiatry
department), a tilt stretcher, a Gomco
suction and an orthopaedic wheelchair.
Discharge hour
The medical staff has recommended
that the administration prepare and give
all patients being admitted an in-
formation pamphlet about the hospital
and encourage in the pamphlet and
through other means the adherence to
the discharge hour of 11 a.m. ,
Vending machines
It was noted that the vending machines
recently installed in the dietary depar-
tment of the hospital have helped balance
the budget of that department.
To attend meetings
It has been decided that the hospital's
director of finance and director of nur-
sing should attend their portion of
hospital board meetings to report on
their areas of responsibility and answer
any questions or concerns.
Want pastoral pra Dare .......
Administrator Elmer Taylor met
recently with the Goderich and District
Ministerial Association to discuss the
establishment of a pastoral care service
in the hospital.
Fears without foundation
Dear Editor,
Recently I have become
aware of widespread rumors
circulating in Huron -Bruce
asserting that Parliament is
aboutboto pass new and
tougher gun control legisla-
tion. These rumors ap-
parently stem from reports
by a British Columbia
Member of Parliament that
Bill 6451, an Act to amend
the Criminal Code in respect
to gun control, is due to be
debated in Parliament.
The fears raised by these
rumors are without founda-
tion, Bill 0151, which does
indeed propose tougher gun
control, is not about to be
debated. It is not even spon-
sored by the Government,
but is a Private Member's
Bill sponsored by the former
Solicitor -General, Warren
Allmand, who now sits as a
private member on the
Liberal back benches. Any
Private Member's Bill, if it
is brought up for debate in
the House of Commons, can
be "talked out" by as few as
four Members who rise to
speak on the Bill. A Private
Member's Bill, if it is called
for debate, receives only one
hour's debating time, and if
members have not finished
speaking on the Bill, no vote
can be called. The debate
thus ends with the Bill "talk-
ed(out" .
There are presently some
450 Private Member's Bills
on the Order Paper of the
House of Commons. Fully
250 of them come ahead of
Bill _C-451 in the lineup, and
there are so few oppor-
tunities for debating Private
Member's Bills that there
are still 84 bills to go before
we would come to Bill C451.
It is therefore extremely
doubtful that Bill C-451 could
be called for debate before
the current session of Parlia-
ment ends, causing the Bill
to,die on the Order Paper.
If by any chance Bill C-451
were called for debate, it
would without any doubt be
talked out. No Government
initiative has been taken in
support of it, none has been
indicated or announced, and
it is unlikely that the Govern-
ment would give support to
the Bill. But in any case, my
own Party and I are definite-
ly opposed to Bill 0-151 and
would ensure that the, Bill
could not proceed through all
its stages to completion,
assuming it ever could reach
the point of being called for
debate in the first place.
