Minister announces new rules
Amendments to. the
Regulations made under the

,Stock Act have been announced

producing business, and must
ship and distribute semen they
sell through the facilities of a
Class A semen-producing
business.
--Authority is provided to
check on the ,quality of semen

semen is found to be con-
Laminated with harmful disease
organisms, there is authority to
require such semen to be
destroyed,
—Artificial insemination units

the Young Sire Proving Program

The Editor
Exeter Times Advocate
Exeter
Dear Sir: "'""
would like to comment on the
latest developments in the
proposed closing ,,of the Clinton
Public Hospital namely - the offer
by the Board of the Goderich
Alexandra Marine and General
Hospital to transfer the 20 bed
psychiatric unit remaining at
Goderich Psychiatric Hospital to
the Clinton Hospital, in order to
keep it open. I consider this a
betrayal of the people of
Goderich and area Who fought so
hard and long to keep these 20
beds at the Goderich Psychiatric
Hospital.
Enclosed is a copy of my letter
to Hon, Frank Miller regarding
the closing of Clinton Public
Hospital, which you may use if
you wish.
Yours truly,
Margaret Coventry
(Editor's note) The following
letter has been sent to Frank
Miller, Minister of Health for the
Province of Ontario.
Dear Mr, Miller;
Thank you for your recent
letter concerning hospital
closures. I must disagree with
your attitude that "the costs of
health care have been escalating
at an annual rate greater than the
revenues of this Province can
accommodate". Kindly note the
following.
(1) 1975 Ontario Budget
estimates show health care ex-
penditures of $2.886 billion and a
Gross Provincial Product (GPP)
of $64,5 billion. These figures
show health care costs to account
to 4,4 percent of the GPP, Figures
for earlier years show that health
care costs accounted for 4.4
percent of the GPP in 1974, 4.5
percent in 1972, 4,7 percent in 1971
and 4.5 percent in 1970.
(ii) Federal health minister,
Marc Lalonde and British health
consultant Robert Maxwell
declared at a recent conference
of the Ontario Health
Association, that Canada's rate of
overall health spending by
governments is declining.
Maxwell, after surveying health
costs in twenty countries, stated
that Canada has REDUCED its
rate, to less than 7 percent of the
Gross National Product (GNP)
while in other developed coun-
tries, it continues to increase. In
Sweden and the USA, health
spending accounts for 8 percent
of the GNP.
In closing hospitals in small
communities, you are destroying
facilities which are essential to
the delivery of good primary
medical care, Countries as
diverse in outlook and in struc-
ture as Britain and China have
realized that primary care,
administered by health personnel
within the communities, is the
least costly and most desirable
way of providing good medical
care, to rural and urban dwellers
alike. Why then, without any
consultation with the com-
munities and their represen-
tatives, have you struck at the
very foundation of good medical
care?
Most responsible citizens
recognize the need for govern-
ment restraint, but why did you
not approach this in a traditional
democratic manner? The public
is well aware of the fact that your
restraint programme com-
menced immediately after the
legislature recessed and that its
brutal execution was complete
before it recommenced, thereby
preventing the necessary debate
within the legislature.
Why did you not look at other
ways of saving health dollars
before axing hospitals? Are
pediatric, optometric and
chiropractic services as essential
to our health as local hospitals?
Must we tolerate the ever in-
creasing number of ad-
ministrative staff required to run
OHIP? Do all senior citizens
require free medications? etc.
etc,
Once again, I stress that this
irresponsible undemocratic
closure of hospitals will not be
forgotten by the electorate of
Ontario.
Yours sincerely,
J.L. Hollingworth, M.D.
Mr, Frank Miller,
Legislative Building
Queen's Park
Toronto, Ont.
Dear Mr, Miller:
I was unable to get through to
you on CFPL's radio show last
week, so I am writing to you
protest most vigourously the
proposed closing of hospitals in
Ontario and in particular the
closing of the Clinton Public
Hospital. I resent intensely being
considered inferior to the
residents of the other towns in
Huron County.
I am a law abiding citizen, pay
my taxes and insurance
premiums on time and yet,
because I have chosen to reside in
Clinton I am to lose the excellent
health care that is now available
to me at the Clinton Public
Hospital and get in my car (if it is
available) or get a taxi or am-
bulance and drive anything up to
50 miles for that same care.
We are being asked by the
Minister of Energy to conserve
fuel and yet we the patients and
our doctors will be driving
needless miles all over Huron
County for hospital care that is
already available to us right here
in our own town. I might add that
on 8 occasions this winter it was
difficult enought to get to the
Clinton Hospital let alone any of
the other hospitals in Huron
County.
Why, because of the
geographical location I have
chosen to reside in, must I and
fellow Clinton citizens agree to
accept less value for our OHIP
dollar than other residents of
Huron County. I just cannot
understand why a hospital which
has been in existence 70 years,
and offers total Health care in-
cluding major surgery (except
for specialized services) should
suddently be considered
redundant,
I am a retired Registered
Nurse and a Canadian citizen, but
emigrated to Ontario from
Britain. I have worked and been a
patient in both countries and I
consider that what you are doing
in closing hospitals is a
retrograde step, setting Ontario
Health care on the downward
road that Britain's health care is
already taking,
Yours respectfully
Margaret Coventry
