•''kAlthough he did not give any
sures, the doctor said Huron
as had a low incidence of
abies during the past few
ars. He credited this partly
luck, but also to an effective
ntrol program.
In his report Dr. Lynch also
ecussed briefly the future
took for health units in the
ovinee.
The whole package of health
rvices in Ontario is
anging rather rapidly and
ery hospital and health unit
s had to adapt to lower
nding, he noted. Each year
the provincial subsidy has
been "a couple of points below
the cost of doing business”.
He said health units' are a
good investment for the
ministry and consequently
they haven't suffered too
much from funding cuts. The
cost of operating the Huron
unit is about $11-$12 per
capita, he reported, and it can
• offer valuable services such
as immunization programs at
low cost.
But although Huron hasn't
really felt the money squeeze
so far, he can foresee a time
when it will have to adapt
some of its services to the
dollars available, he added.
In other health related
business, council approved a
grant of $5,943.50 toward the
paving of a parking lot at the
South Huron Hospital, Exeter,
as well as an additional grant
of a4675.25 for renovations
regarding fire safety.
A request for a grant of
930,000 toward a building
program at Listowel
Memorial Hospital was turned
down since the project is not
provincially funded and the
hoapital is not within the
boundaries of Huron County.
