The Ontario Government has
decided to offer vaccination
against swine flu to everyone in
the Province over 20 years of age,
and immunization will be
available on a voluntary basis by
the latter part of November. The
Minister of Health is recom-
mending the shots to everyone,
but anticipates considerably
apa thy.
Some five million doses of
vaccine will be made available to
Ontario's eight million residents
on a first come, first serve basis,
and medical officers of health
across the province will an-
nounce the dates, times and
locations of clinics in their areas
through the media.
Liberal Leader Stuart Smith
has attacked the Government for
the decline in the number of
building permits issued in the
first six months of this year. He
told the Housing Minister, Mr.
John Rhodes, that the number of
building permits in the first half
of the year declined by 1.8 per
cent, because the government
has no policies to increase the
number of new housing starts,
and that there had also been a 3
per cent decline in new apart-
ment buildings, although there is
a shortage of apartments in
Metro.
Minister John Rhodes main -

Swine flu vaccinations for everyone
tained there is a large number of
new unsold housing units on the
market, and the construction
industry has slowed down its
production of new homes "until
they are reasonably certain that
there is a market for their
product." N.D.P. Member,
Michael Cassidy said most of the
glut on the housing market is in
very expensive homes, while
there is a shortage of low cost
housing.
Mr. Frank Miller, the Minister
of Health, in a statement to the
Legislature, clarified his
Ministry's position in the current
negotiations between public
health nurses and local boards of
health. He stated that back in
1975, an arbitration board
awarded significant increases to
the nursing staff at the Ottawa
Civic Hospital. The Ministry
agreed it would pick up its share
of costs where similar set-
tlements were negotiated across
Ontario, both. in hospitals and
boards of health. Because the
Ministry pays the total cost of
nursing salaries in hospitals,
there was little difficulty in
nurses negotiating settlements
similar to that awarded at the
Ottawa Civic Hospital.
However, in the public health
field, where municipalities share
the costs of these programmes,
public health nurses were not
able, in many instances, to
maintain the parity they had
previously enjoyed with their
counterparts in the public
hospital field.
In the past couple of years, this
situation has been aggravated by
subsequent settlements. In order
to rectify this situation, the
Ministry of Health is prepared to
provide additional funding, on the
same ratio as it cost -shares
health unit budgets. This will be
provided up to an amount which
would establish parity on an
hourly -rate basis between

In discussions on the Govern-
ment's first time home buyers
grants, and a call for con-
tinuation of an investigation by
Dr. Stuart Smith, Liberal Leader,
the Government has reversed its
position and will continue, in
some form, an audit into
suspected fraud.
Investigation has already
revealed that some $8.7 million
has been paid to ineligible
homeowners. The Government
has resisted, implying that it did
not have the necessary auditing
staff and that the procedure was
too expensive anyway. However,
Mr. Arthur Meen, the Minister of
Revenue, said the form of the
continuing audit would be
decided shortly.
He said hiring an outside firm
was one possiblity being con-
sidered. Under the program
which ran from April 7 to
December 31, 1975, those who
qualified received an initial
$1,000 and were entitled to an
additional $250.00 on the two
anniversaries of their purchase.
Mr. Meen said many of the
violators might be found when
they apply for the $250 sup-
plements. Mr. Meen admitted
that the Government did very
little checking before giving out
the grants, and had been running
