legislation whereby an increase
in Federal benefits means a
decrease in money received un-
der GAINS. Effective October 1,
the basic Old Age Pension' in-
creases from $112.95 to $117.02,,
the maximum GIS for a single
person increases from $79.23 1 to
$82.08,
Therefore, someone receiving
maximum benefits from the
Federal Government will
receive an increase of about
$7.00 but the cheque received
from GAINS would be $7.00
lower, so the increase is an-
nihilated.
The Government announced'
that it is thinking about this
problem and a decision on the
pension boost will be made short-
ly. I think it is imperative that
the Ontario Government allow
old -age pensioners to receive
the increase granted them by the
Federal Government,
This money has been, ear-
marked to help senior citizens
cope with the problems of infla-
tion and the difficulties of living
on a fixed income.
I would urge the Provincial
Government to amend the
GAINS legislation to ensure that
it brings the maximum relief to
old-age pensioners in Ontario
who are in desperate need of
help. '

Guaranteed Annual Income
System (GAINS) and Family
Benefits Allowance, have been
severely criticizing the
programme.
The original intention of the
programme was to alleviate the
burden of the high cost of health
care to those who could least af-
ford it,
However, in some cases the
programme is of no value since
the drugs needed by certain
patients are not listed in the
Government formulary and can-
not be dispensed free of charge.
Only certain drugs will be paid
for under the scheme, and this
has led to very real problems for
some patients.
Sonie physicians are reluctant
The new Drug Benefit
Programme which provides
drugs free of charge to more
than 548,000 Ontario residents
has been in effect for only two
weeks and already it is plagued
with problems.
Many people eligible for
assistance including recipients

to substitute drugs, listed in the
Government formulary for the
one they were prescribing
pevious to the start of the
programme.
Therefore some physicians
write prescriptions for the drugs,
with which they are familiar but
are not approved under the
programme, leaving the patient
no further ahead than before.
Another problem 'is that the
plan does not pay for all types of
medications. The formulary does
not allow certain combination
drugs, laxatives and some high-
priced drugs. Our offices at
Queen's Park have been deluged
with phone calls from people un-
able to obtain drugs which their
doctors prescribe, some of which
are life-sustaining.
Another aspect of the plan
which is hard to comprehend is
the fact that certain compound
drugs are not found in the list, As
a result, these prescriptions
must be written individually, for-
cing the. patient to take three
pills rather than one.
Furthermore, a person who
was taking a compound prescrip-
tion previously paid for the cost
of the pills plus a dispensing fee
to the pharmacist. Under the
new plan, the pharmacist will
get a dispensing fee for supplying'
a month's supply of each of the
three tables, so the dispensing
fee is three times as high as it
would be for one compound pill.
If the Government is serious
about 'reducing health costs, it
must include some of these com-
pound drugs when it revises, the
formulary. The Ontario Phar-
macists Association said the for-
mulary will have to be expanded
to include some therepeutically
valuable drugs that were
omitted.
Soine people have criticized
the fact that only one month's
supply of drugs can be dispensed
at a time.For drugs that have to
be taken for an extended period
of time, this is a very un-
economical quantity. Also, a new
prescription must be written
every three months, even if the
drug will be needed indefinitely.
I believe that the Drug
Benefits Programme is basically
an excellent idea, but there are
some kinks which have to be
worked out before the
programme becomes totally
satisfactory. The Government
was late in advertising the
Programme, and as a result peo-
ple were not prepared and well
informed beforehand.
I hope the Government will
listen to the complaints that have
been raised, and make the
necessary additions to the new
formulary which will come out
January 1st, of next year.
Another issue raised at
Queen's Park recently was the
unfairness of the present GAINS

family, Mr. &,Mrs. Gary Nickles
