Health to further discuss a reso- County Farmers' Union request- ing that Hospitalization Insur- ance benefits be made available to patients of Licensed Nursing Homes which meet the require- ments of Government Regula- tions, The Farm 'Union Group cited instances where hospital accom- modation was not available to sick persons because of crowded conditions in local Hospitals. The Brief contended that some hospital patients could be ade- quately cared for in licensed nursing homes at considerably less cost and also relieve the crit- ical hospital bed shortage. The Union Group stated that many elderly persons who pay Hospitalization Premiums are unable to secure Hospital accom- modation when they are ill and must enter a nursing home and pay for care. The Union Group stated that this is unfair. In reply Dr. Dy- mond stated that 4 hospital beds per 1,000 population were consid- ered adequate. A survey by the Dept, of Health showed that in Huron County the ration of hos- pital beds exceeded this amount. The Minister also said that the Hospitalization Plan was not in- tended to cover every person who was sick but only those persons ill enough to require the special- ized care available only in hos- pitals. Dr. Dymond stated that in his opinion other services were more urgently needed such as Diagnostic and Out Patient Ser- vices. He also pointed out the cost of the Plan to the Provincial Government and stated that a large share of the Provincial Sales Tax would be required to maintain present services. The Union Delegation consist- ed of County Director, Mr, Ray Hanna, Woman's Director, Mrs. Thos, Govenlock, Secretary, Mr. Carl Govier, Mrs. Govier, Mr. Gordon Hill and were accompan- ied by Mr, John Hanna, M.P.P. and the Hon, Charles Mac- e Naughton, Minister without ,port- folio in the Robert's Cabinet, VARNA The Hi -C group of the United Church met on Monday evening with the president Miss Joan Mc- Clymont in charge.
