national unity, a substantial increase in

persons needing long term nursing
home or chronic hospital care". ,

Ministers Will administer an employ-
ment development fund to give incen-
tives -to industry to create jobs. The
program is expected $0, cost about $200
million. The government will be looking
at companies with long term growth
• potential, particularly in areas of
sophisticated technology and in areas
where there is potential for aport sales.
Industry and TourismUnister Larry
Grossman said the fund is "an attempt
• to speed up the process" of assisting
• medium sized Canadian firms to change
their product. lines, modernize plants,
-get into • export business or more
research and development.

Jack Riddell (Huron -Middlesex) and
I, along with others in the House, have
• asked the Minister of Health about the
difficult situation encountered by area
hospitals in regird to bed cuts. The
Minister indicated that there will be
adjustments made in the program, and
• that additional chronic , beds will •be
allowed in areas of the province that
have aged populations above the
provincial average of 8.6% 13.3% of
the population of .Bruce County is 65
years of age and over, a,nd 12.9% of the
• , population in, Huron County is in that
category. Hopefully, adjustinents can
be made to account for That. .
The Minister has indicated that he
will be working through the Health
Councils, where applicable, or, where
• there is no Health Cciiincil, he will deal
with hospitals on an area basis where
there is a request for consideration for,
additional chronic beds. In a lot of cases
in Huron -Bruce, the problem would be
greatly relieved if a switch from active
to chronic beds. was • iniproved, . rather
than closing .out the heds entirely.
