AIRED AT MEETING
rA, second meeting within two
weeks was. held in Lucknew on
Friday night to discuss the pro
. posed 50-bed chronic wing addi
tion to Wingham General Hos
..7,:.vpital...... —',..^.-.-1.
. The meeting was poorly attend
ed with ,Lucknow and West Wa
. wanosh Tfewnship the only two
municipalities'. officially repre
sented. ,z 7 ; • li
’ The remarks of Lucknow rate
payers at least tended for the
most part to caution against rush-1
, ing^ into the project which would |
commit the Village in the amount
of approximately $13,000. 7‘
Reeve S., E. Robertson was
chairman* of the meeting..
Mayor DeWitt filler- of Wing-
.ham said it was necessary to
build or revert to a 48-bed hos-,
-----.pital.- Estimated-cost pf the newZ
50-bed wing; ,would be $550,000.1
The Hospital Board, Government1
and County grants- would pro
vide about $350,000, leaving
$200,000 to ibe assessed pro rata
upon the municipalities, setved
by Wingham Hospital, according
to the percentage of patients hos-
’ pitalized from each municipality
on an average over thcr^ast five
years.: ■' -^>/_
J. W. Joynt, speaking-as-a-r-ateL
payer in both West Wawanosh
- >and Lucknow, referred to the
County set-up of the two, and
While he felt West Wawanosh.
was commited to support the,
project, he wasn’t so " certain
about Lucknow, or to what ex
tent, due to commitments of the
Village through Bruce Cou^gy;
-Council's— generous support of'
hospitals in Bruce. He compared
Lucknow’s proposed $13,000 share
as beingi slightly over a quarter
of the $50,00Q. the Town of Wing
ham is to raise.
■"V7'/'/flutter‘of' Policy '
Dr. W. V. Johnston said that
the community arid himself per- ’
sonally, owed a very great deal j
to Wingham Hospital. But, he'l
added.theproblemofovercrowd-
ing is due to no small degree to.
the policy of admitting long term
patients and keeping them there
after they no longer need active
medical care. This is not dpne
to the same degree in any other,
hospital in Ontario, to his know
ledge.,
.*.! About-~ond-third of LlrtrhospitaT
days of persons from this area
are made up by such long teym
patients.
. Lr. Johnston pointed out that
one such longrtetm patient. will
in one year occupy a hospital bed
: -for a greater number of days
than all his fnaternity patients
