BY JACK RlflD l
Ascent dobe and Mait article reported-
seine
eportedso ,e startling facts about the impact t
an agilltg. population will have on the allee
years. ATaskForce funded,by the Canadian
tion of health care resources over the n
Mo`dical Association estirnat i. : that at 1
12..8 per, cent of Canadians alt . e, in the year
22.ARI will be over 65 - the c n1 level i9.7
per cent - and that the figure will rise to at
least 17.5 per cent by the year ,Q21..
Ca;iada already institution ' . es far more
of its elderly than the Unit d States, the
United Kingdom and Australia. If we con-
tinue to put elderly people in hospital long
term care facilities and mental health in-
stitutions at the current rate, in the year
2,021 the country will need 1,300 bed long
term care facilities in addition to the
facilities it has now.
This prospect, alarms the Task Force for
two reason's: "The costs will not only be pro-
hibitive but we will perpetuate. the callous
practice of warehousing the elderly".
Fortunately, there is a healthv list of
alternatives which if implemented serve
both the welfare of older Canadians and the
public purse. .
The key is to assist the elderly to stay in
their communities for as long as possible.
Meals On Wheels can provide nourishing
food; homemaker services can clean homes
and run errands; drop-in centres can pro-
vide dental care and eye check-ups. Mobile
hospital units already proved effective an
experimental project in New Brunswick,
could provide health care to the elderly at
home.
lu..ve impact on resources
"Through the use of.. t hospital ad-.
missions are avoided, ear 'discharge from
hospital is possible, the terminally ill can be
treated at home and admissions to nursing
homes can be postponed,"
These services will cost. money but
everything is relative. Almost 10 per cent of •
Canada's elderly are now in institutions; if
the level were reduced to even six per cent
on a par with the rates in the United States
and the United Kingdom, the report
estimates the country would"save 16.3 billion
dollars in..capital construction costs over the
'next 40 years.
The Task Force identifies a major pro-
blem With geriatric care in Canada. With
few exceptions there are no facilities which
let people move with ease through the
various stages of care -lgzj+ (Home for the
Aged), medium (Nursing Homes) and high
(chronic hospital care) . Passage from one
to the other is a nightmare of waiting lists,
overcrowding and "conflicting jurisdictions
between departments of health and social
services.
• So it is writes the Task Force that "the pa-
tient- who has entered hospital cannot be
moved out again to a Nursing Home because
his place has been filled. There perhaps
would be vacant places in the Nursing
Horne, if current residents who would be
.better in Homes for the Aged, could find a
spare place. Those in Homes for the Aged
might be better in purpose built apartments
with supervision and some occupying these
apartments would be better in the communi-
ty'
t A more flexible approach to health care
and social services in the community could
work wonders in relieving a crisis which will
grow worse as the number of dependent
.elderly increases.
• Changes in the Family
Benefit Delivery. System
Commencing in September, 1984, the
Ministry of Counntinity and Social Services
will be Mailing revised fortes and informa-
tion packages to a majority of their clients
who do not have dependent children and to
some of their clients who do have children at
home. This mail reporting procedure will
replace their traditional "home visits".
Clients will be asked to complete the
necessary form and mail it back to the
Ministry in a pre -stamped and addressed
envelope.
The new forms are intended to be
straightforward and instructions for com-
pletion are included. If clients are not sure
how or what information is to be provided,
the Ministry will have staff available to
answer questions by telephone and in person
or my Constituency Office secretaries will
be most pleased to help clients complete the
forms themselves. The Ministry will be
evaluating the new forms and revising them
where necessary as they proceed to in-
troduce these changes on a "phased in"
basis.
Blood lead effects
TORONTO Blood lead concentrations
and associated environmental risk factors
will be examined in a tri -ministry Ontario
government study of 1,000 children aged six
and under. The study, which will begin im-
mediately, was announced September 3 by
Health Minister Keith Norton, Labour
Minister Russell Ramsay and Environment
Minister Andy Brandt.
Norton said the $170,000 study will be sup-
ported and funded equally by the three
ministries with administrative responsibili-
ty going to Health. A contract for the field
work has been awarded to a Toronto
research consulting firm, AICA Consultants,
with testing to be conducted throughout
September and October.
Lead levels in the air and soil will be
tested in areas, where the children selected
for the study, live, play, and go to school.
Although the study will examine children
under six, its primary focus will be on four
to six -year-olds attending junior and senior
kindergarten and Grade 1. Younger siblings
of children attending kindergarten and
school will also be included.
When actual blood lead levels are
established, the study by statistical analysis
will determine factors that distinguish
children with higher blood lead levels from
those with lower levels.

Ontario Hydro increased 8.6 %
Ontario Hydro's board of directors has ac-
cepted the Ontario Energy Board's recom-
mendation for an average 8.6 per cent rate
increase for 1985, Chairman Tom Campbell
announced September 13.
"With this increase, Hydro rates will re-
main among the lowest in North America,"
Campbell said.
Hydro had originally proposed a 9.1 per
cent increase in 1985 rates. The Energy
Board, following a six-week public hearing
this spring, recommended a reduction to 8.6
per cent and endorsed Hydro's costing and
pricing proposals.
"I'm particularly pleased that the OEB
recognized our efforts to control costs, and
agreed that Hydro is complying with the
spirit and intent of the Inflation. Restraint
Program "said Campbell.
"The Energy Boa i recognized there are
certain costs, that result from factors
beyond our control, such as the value of the
Canadian dollar and interest rates. These
costs have to be passed on to the consumer;"
Campbell said. "However, where we can
directly control costs, we are adhering to
the restraint guidelines."
Campbell said Hydro remains committed
to its goal of keeping rate increases at or
below the inflation level over the .decade of
the 1980s.
The specific increases to Hydro's in-
dividual customers will vary depending on
class rate increases and local use condi-
tions. Detailed rate schedules are being
prepared and customers will begin to
receive this information in October.
