Goderich' And if so, where would be the best location for a heliport helicopter landing pad i These are two questions which. will be grappled with by the property committee of the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Board following a recom- mendation to the hoard by the hospital's medical advistory committee "that the hospital actively pursue • funding for construction of a heliport'. At a recent hospital board meeting, it was iearned that the Ontario Ministry of Health has plans to station a helicopter transport service at London. Presently, the closest such service' to Goderich is located in Toronto. It was also learned that 100 per cent funding is available from Ontario's Ambulance Services Branch for the construction of a heliport.

When questioned as to why the hospital needed a heliport when the town already has an airport, Dr. Neal explained that the time factor and disturbance to critically ill or injured patients is just too great if they must first be transported by ambulance to the airport before being picked up by helicopter. Some hoard members expressed con- cern about the location of a heliport because all the areas near the hospital would have trees and hydro wires in the way. Dr. Neal explained that a large area is not necessary for the construction of a heliport which usually just consists of a cement pad or in some cases just a cleared area where portable lighting can be set up. Following the discussion, the medical staffs recommendation was referred to the property committee which will report it findings to the board later. would be wise to leave your car at the end of the night and call a cab to take you how Just [Hake sure that you don't miss the 2 arra" deadline. if you happen to be one of the many people who will be hosting a party, perhaps you should keep your eye on the clock so you can call a cab to get your guests home safely.

At a recent hospital board meeting, Dr. Donald Neal, President of the Medical Staff, said that the doctors investigating the major types of anaesthetic equipment used on a trial basis at the hospital in the last year had now come to a conclusion about which machines would be best suited to the hospital's needs. However, these machines will cost more than $30,000 as opposed to the $24,000 originally budgeted for. Dr. Neal recommended that both pieces of the anaesthetic equipment required should be bought at the same time for consistency of operation. He said that although the machines are very expensive, they are "vitally important" to the hospital and "will last for many years". Dr. Neal said the new machines would be CSA approved, making them very safe. He said the doctors are still trying to negotiate discounts and confirm quotes from companies supplying the machines. He explained that delivery would be in March or April and funding could be spaced over a two year period if necessary. Hospital board member Richard Ottewell said, "It is disconcerting to be given an estimate on equipment and then find it is considerably more." Of the $95,000 that the board had designatedfor equipment purchases, about $30,000 is left for the fiscal year ending in March. Most of the major pieces of equipment have been purchased. The board had made a commitment of about $24,000 last year for a major renewal of anaesthetic equipment. Because the equipment will now cost more, the whole matter has been referred to the finance committee for review.
