Finance Director Gordon
Baxter' described as "total
nonsense" the: report - Tues-
day morning that the hospit-
al requires patients to pay in
advance, and he said Ad-
ministrator Norman Hayes
had gone on a local, radio pro-
gram to set the record
• straight and arrange for a
retraction.
He does not know what the
Scarborough General Hos-
pital (the other hospital
identified in the report) is
doing, he said, but the policy
at the Wingham hospital is
that patients are invoiced on
discharge for their private or
semi -private rooms and can
either pay at that time or the
hospital will wait until they
get paid by their insurance
companies.

"Together Today for a
Terrific, Tomorrow" is the
1984 theme of the Ontario 4-H
program which recognizes
the merging of the agricul-
ture and homemaking divi-
sions of 4-H.
Club leaders from both
sectors were on hand at the'
—annual greeting of the Huron
County 4-H Club Leaders'
Association held recently in
Holmesville to learn how the'
merger of fect,o•.H in Enron.
Huron's representative on
the Ontario 4-H leaders'
committee, Bob Hearn of
Exeter, said one of the main
changes will be the forma-
tion of club leaders' groups.
'As Huron already has such
a group for its 4-1-1 agricul-
tural clubs, • the change will

leaders will now -be included

At the meeting, the agri-

ment areas to sit on the club
leaders' executive.

The report originated .on a

on "CBC radio's Metro

morning, which identified
Scarborough General and
Wingham and District as the
only two hospitals in Ontario
which require patients to pay
in advance for extra room

Mr. Baxter said that
following the program the
switchboard just lit up with
calls, adding he was
astonished at how many
local people must have been
listening.
Later that morning Mr.
Hayes was a guest on Bill
Thomson's Open Line

members were told last
week.
In informing the board of
an upcoming accreditation
survey this March, Adminis-
trator Norman Hayes said
quality assurance is one area
which is being pushed very
hard.
It does not necessarily
mean the hospital will do'
anything different in the way
it operates, he explained.
Mostly it involves establish-
.ing_a...system of ensuring
everything. that should be
done is done.
Quality assurance "mea-
surestthe (junytity of Bare and'
takes the necessary steps to
attain the desired level," he
added. It tries to set criteria
for various,areas of opera-
tion, such as cleaning and
maintenance schedules or
• keeping of medical records:
medical records..
These criteria then are
monitored by a committee in
"an ongoing process that
continues forever."
Asked by Robert Mid-
dleton whether this would
mean more red tape and
bookwork, Mr. Hayes said
the hospital already is doing
most of those things in a less
formal way. It will require
increasing bureaucratiza-
tion, he said.
He added it would not
require a full-time person to
run the program in a hospital
the size of this one, so it is
possible several hospitals
could get together and share
a coordinator.
Responsibility for ad-
ministering the program has
-ben _handed to the ,joint
conference committee, a
committee of board mem-
bers, medical staff and
administration.
The accreditation survey
is a voluntary process by
which hospitals invite an
outside panel to confirm they
are meeting standards of
operation and health care.
The Wingham hospital has
passed previous surveys
with flying colors.
