Board takes straw vote...
•from page 1
meeting showed 11 still in favour of going
ahead with the project, two opposed and two
abstentions, with three members of the
board absent, The board did not take up a
suggestion from Dr. Hanlon, however, that,
instead of the straw vote, it should vote
formally to go ahead with the project,
"People need it -- whether they know it or
not."
11 was suggested such a vote would be
premature, since the board had previously
agreed to wait until it sees what the tender
prices are before making its final decision.
After the meeting had adjourned, about
half the board members stayed for a mote
informal discussion of the pros and cons of
the new wing. They were told that although
the hospital has an impressive array of
visiting specialists, it could have even more
if it had a better place to put them.
In some cases, it was repotted, specialist
MUM schedule their examinations as early as
6.30 a.m. so as to be out of the way when the
local doctors start their work at 8.00, since
there is not room in the present building for
both groups.
During a later interview, the hospital
administrator elaborated on aims which go
well beyond the bricks and mortar of a new
building project,
More and more, hospitals are seeing a
swing to day usage by outpatients as
opposed to the traditional inpatient services,
he noted. This has been happening here,
with an increase in emergency and outpat-
ient visits from 10,000 in 1978-79 to peak of
13,000 m 1981-82, before dropping back to
11,000 last year, when the winter was
unusually mild and the hospital also lost
some specialist services for a period of time.
Over a number of years, the hospital has
gradually but steadily been adding to and
upgrading its outpatient programs, which
now include, in addition to the well known
cancer clinic, a fast growing mental health
resource centre and highly rated therapy and
rehabilitation programs, including the first
speech therapist in the area.

The new wing is not an isolated project,
Hayes explained. It is part of a well studied
plan to change the character of the hospital
from primarily a bed care facility to one
which can meet a whole range of health
needs on a day -hospital basis,
The building program has been in the
works for many years, and is actually less
ambitious than originally envisioned be-
cause of economic restraints. But he em-
phasized it is vitally needed if the hospital is
to continue to expand its roster of health care
services.
While the hospital has been successful in
drawing visiting practitioners and consul-
tants in a number of specialties, others such
as rheumatology and' gerontology also are
needed, and Hayes said he is convinced that
with the vastly improved facilities afforded
by the new wing the hospital will find it
much easier to attract them.
It also should help in the search. so far
fruitless. for a second general surgeon. he
said, since the new wing will hold an
operating room for day surgery cases.
As its health care services increase, use of
the hospital also is likely to go up, since it
will be able to treat locally many of the
problems for which patients now are
referred to larger hospitals, he added.
In large part, the questions being raised
bout the proposed new wing are a result of
the hospital's failure to explain adequately
what it is trying to achieve, Hayes
suggested. As a result, while people have
heard about specific developments, it has
been hard for them to see the whole
picture.
For example, while the building program
,pf 1981 was widely seen as an administrative
addition, it actually added a great deal to
patient related areas such as physiotherapy,
rehabilitation and laboratory, and laid the
ground work for the next stage of expansion
in emergency, outpatient and radiology
departments.
Working drawings for the new project are
still awaiting Health Ministry approval. 11 is
expected that tenders will be called this fall.
