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.

(Anne Narejko photo) 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.
