Wingham hospital receives $200,000 WINGHAM - The Wingham and District Hospital has received an increase of nearly $200,000 in its operating fund for the current year. This should enable it to avoid another deficit. However it appears the hospital will still have a $146,700 deficit from last year, which it will have to make up for be dipping into its capital reserves. The additional money for Wingham came as part of a general funding increase of $110 million for -Ontario's 250 hospitals announced recently by the provincial Health Ministry: At the same time, Health Minister Larry Grossman warned hospital ad-, ministrators he will not accept any further claims of underfunding, saying if they cannot live within their new budgets, the ministry will have to move in and help to -run the hospital. The hospital must manage under the new arrangements without incurring deficits or reducing services in any way • that would • jeopardize patient.care.
