As a result many hospitals are having todraw on their ) capital resery to Subsidize their operating expenses, which is • depleting the resources of the health care, system and its ability to improve facilities, Robert Pike, then' chairman of the finance committee, told the board. Reporting on an OHA- sponsored seminar for finance chairmen which was held in Toronto, Mr. Pike said there is concern that health care costs are out- stripping government funding. New technology is adding to the cost, as is an aging population. For example, the average cost of health care for a person over 65 is three times what it is for someone under 65, while for a person over 75 it is eight times as high. He also reported on other aspects of the seminar, which was attended by representatives from about 25 small and medium-sized haspitals. Ile -said it was a good opportunity to meet and compare notes with board members from other hospitals, concluding it might be worthwhile to set up similar meetings on a regional basis, giving board members a chance to share ideas with others in a similar position. 0-0-0 Mr. Hayes read the board a letter from Dr. W.
