Schaefer said the main reason for the increase was the fact that OHSC through OHSIP pays for out-patient services. There is additonal specialized equipment in hospitals now, he said, and doctors usually send patients there for this testing. Of course, more of the population is taking minor and major emergencies to the hospital, especially on weekends and holidays and at night when doctors are not in their offices. He added that OHSC will pay two-thirds of all approved building costs but the remaining one-third must be raised locally. "In the past, hospitals have also received bequests from estates which were used for construction," reported Schaefer, "but these are not now being received as the public assumes the government pays all costs." "Also hospital boards have gone out on fund raising drives for construction," he continued. "Goderich had one five years ago which was quite successful and the other boards have also gone through these fund raising drives. However it is our opinion that today a hospital fund raising drive would not succeed as again, people assume the government pays all costs and because they feel they pay now through their OHSIP premiums." "Gentlemen, this is the purpose of our request today," said Schaefer, "that the county con- Representatives of the Huron County Hospital Planning Council appeared before Huron County Council Thursday asking them to consider changing their hospital grant structure to permit a grant of one-third of total ap- proved costs for hospital building. Present grant structure is that the countypays $4,000 per bed for new construction. However, no additional beds are seen to be required in any of the five county hospitals in the near future although hospital expansion is necessary in some areas. John Schaefer, a member of the hospital board at Goderich Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, said that immediate needs are for increased emergency, laboratory and Xray facilities, particularly at Goderich. He said a study of the five county hospitals shows an average increase of 274 percent in the emergency departments for the period of 1967 to 1970. "This increased demand is not levelling off,"continuedSchaefer. "Last year in 1970 Goderich Hospital had 6,012 emergency patients and this year to the end of August there have been over 5,000 an increase of 30 percent." In the laboratories, the average increase of services across the county was 163 percent and for Xray services it was an 82 per- cent increase. There are 125 percent more elec- trocardiograms on an average across the county as well. In all structure and facilities to meet the present and future demand of services in the following areas. Emergency Service - minor and major. Present facilities supply one small examination room with less room than the private doctor's office. No Ivledical Staff room, no waiting room but the hallway leading to the Obstetric Ward. Many emergencies come to the hospital which because of the nature of the emergency and the need of certain services, are given first aid and then hurried off to a London Hospital. Many of the emergencies that are transferred to London are not recorded. So our increase of 116 percent in emergency services supplied in the last four years is really much higher than this figure indicates. 2. Laboratory and X-Ray Service - one small X-Ray room, no waiting room, a long queue line of out-patients standing in emergency entrance and blocking hallways. Frustrated patients, nurses and doctors. Exeter Hospital lost all its- X- Ray records in the 1969 flood, so present increased demand of services in this area is far greater than the records show. 3. Administration Services - presently housed in a building over 100 • years old and deteriorating to a point of being 6, condemned by the Fire Con- sultant from Ontario Hospital Services Commission. Medical Records room required as soon as possible, Our application to the Ontario Hospital Services Commission for approval of a new addition to the present hospital was made in April 2, 1970. Approval from the OHSC to make a master study of the requirements of our hospital has been received, A consultant firm is now being engaged to prepare a master program which will state the adequacy and needs of the hospital's present facilities ap- proved role for current and future development. The time factor covered will be the next ten years, with general indications for requirements beyond that time. The study will commence within four to six weeks after approval to proceed is given by the hospital board and the report should be available within two months thereafter, From this report a master plan will be submitted to the Hospital with schematic drawings to demonstrate the suggested solution. Yours truly, Carfrey A. Cann Chairman Public Relations South Huron District Hospital. Dear Editor: I wish to make reference to the report of Mr. John Schafer to Huron County Council on Sep- tember 23 on behalf of the Huron County Hospital Planning Council. He pointed out the greatly increased need that the county hospitals have to supply services in such areas as emergency, laboratory, x-ray, medical records, etc. The present grant structure of the County does not aid the hospitals to supply these services, His request to county council was that council consider making a grant of 113 of the cost, based on the percentage of the previous year's admissions of patients from Huron County. This method is being used in many counties in Ontario and is totally acceptable to the Ontario Hospital Service Commission as an equitable distribution of costs. I wish to outline to you some of the areas in the South Huron Hospital which need improved facilities and services, and why they must receive tot) priority in a new addition to the present hospital or new building. The local Hospital, built 20 years ago on to a 100-year-old residence, and an additional wing added 10 years later, now has become inadequate in design, Steer This Way `BY LARRY SNIDER Our Used Car Prices Are FALLING An engine that stalls whenever you make a sudden stop may be troubled by carburetor flooding.
