It looks like we will be paying
an extra $300 million this year for
hospital services,
Hospitals across the province
have recently completed wage
settlements with nurses and
other hospital workers which will
cost about $400 to $500 million
extra per year according to the
Ontario Hospital Association,
When the financial estimates
for the Ministry of Health were
introduced in April, the figure
required for operations of
hospitals was about $1.2 billion.
Since the government operates
on a fiscal year which starts April
1 and ends March 31, it will not
have to ask for the whole $400 to

Dr. Potter imposed a freeze on
capital construction of hospitals,
he granted only a 5 percent in-
crease to the operating budgets of
hospitals and closed down 1,500
active-treatment beds.
Obviously these measures were
unsuccessful in keeping down the
cost of what Dr, Potter described
as a "Frankenstein monster"—
our provincial health bill, There
has never been a co-ordinated
approach in the Ministry of
Health to really try to apply some
financial contraints on all sectors
of the health care delivery
system.
First the Ministry of Health re-
organized itself, then it decided to
appoint a task force on health
planning—it's rather like putting
the chicken before the egg. The
government knew several
months ago that there were going
to be some labour problems in
hospitals so rather than dealing
with them, they appointed a
committee to look into the
problems back in January. The
committee still has not reported
and all the wage settlements are
long since passed. I wonder what
the cost will be to the taxpayer
for the committee whose
recommendations will now seem
after the fact?
If the health bill continues to
increase at it's present rate it will
bankrupt the Province by the
year 2,000, This is becoming
obvious when just 4 months after
the start of the fiscal year the
government is already $300
million short.
Did you know that the target
date for total conversion to the
metric system is 1980? The
federal government first started
moving in that direction in 1970
after the publication of the
"White Paper on Metric Con-
version in Canada". Although
this is federal responsibility, it
will require the co-operation of
all levels of government. On
highways around Ontario you can
already see the beginnings of
conversion as some road signs
show distances in kilometers.
The provincial Liberal caucus
held a thinkers conference in
Hamilton last weekend where
ideas were discussed which could
form Liberal policy for the up-
coming election. There were
twenty papers published ranging
from Women's Rights to
Agriculture. Experts in various
fields of interest were present as
resource people and participated
in the various discussions. With
an election probably no more
than a year away, the party is
gearing up for a good fight.
A serious shortage of housing is
developing very rapidly in
Ontario. The latest Central
Mortgage and Housing Cor-
poration (CMHC) figures show
that the number of loans from
approved lenders for the first
seven months in 1974 was 9,291,
this is down from 26,902 for the
same period last year. The total
number of CMHC loans for the
first seven months in 1974 was
14,660. This is down from 32,046
for the same period last year,
which is more than a 50 percent
drop in one year.
When Lord Bessborough died
some years ago, the London
Times published in error the
obituary of Lord Desborough.
Somewhat taken aback,
Desborough telephoned the
Times to report that he had just
read his own obituary. A grand
voice replied, "I see, 'sir. And
where are you speaking from?"

LOTS OF SEATING — If there's one thing Exeter Rodeo needs plenty
of, it's seating. But that situation will soon be remedied as work crews
start getting the grounds ready for the performances on Labour Day
weekend. Putting together bleachers are Gernot Dauber, Keith
Brittain and Brad Scott. T-A photo

$500 million, as our fiscal year is
already one-third over.
I predict that when the
legislature resumes sitting in the
fall, Health Minister Frank
Miller will have to ask for about
$300 million in supplementary
estimates in order to pay for all
the recent wage settlements,
A couple of years ago, former
Health Minister Richard Potter
decided to do something about
the high cost of hospitals. He
instructed hospitals to close down
beds and cut back services. This
measure was supposed to save us
some money, but I have yet to see
any savings.Instead the health bill
just gets larger and larger every
year.
At the time of the cutbacks, Dr.
Potter said we would be moving
away from expensive treatment
in hospitals wherever possible,
and toward treatment in less
expensive extended care
facilities such as nursing homes.
