ALL BLADE BONE REMOVED
AGED FOR TENDERNESS
BY JACK RIDDELL,
MPP
On August 25, the Report
of the Liberal Committee on
Health Care was released:
its. title, "On the Critical
LiSt", referred to the ap-
parent condition of our
health ' care system - a
diagnosis endorsed by scores
of witnesses during months
of hearings in 11 com•
-
munities.,: Clearly, the situa-
tion will • deteriorate even
further Unless urgent atten-
tion is given towidespread
and worsening 'Koblenz and
the 2 declining - morale of
• members Of the health care
team;
Alinost without exception,
strained hospital budgets
haveled to reduced numbers
of beds and staff, growing
waiting lists and delays in
surgery. The Canadian
---105-11rA1A4100#4011101.0be
' Committee that heart
specialists Maintain that in
•
several parts of Canada .a
number of patients have died
while awaiting heart surgery
- patients who would other-
wise have,surtfivecl:
The alibi of Medicine at
London's Victoria Hospital
stated that hospital had lost
32 beds in February and
wotdd soon lose another 30 as
-part-of mow to end -deficits-- --
amounting to $10.2 million
over thepasttwoyears.
Ahnost every day; patients
en ,stretchers line: the ..Cor-
r i do rs of 'Windsor's,
Metropolitan Hospital;
awaiting admission -
sometimes as long as three
days. Those in need of elec-
tive surgery may wait six -to -
eight weeks.
Chronic care needs are
simply not being ',met,
although according to the
1981 census i= Canada's aged
population will increase
from about 8.1 per cent in
1971 to 16.1 per cent in 2031.
Already, an estimated 70 per
cent of inappropriately oc-
cupied active treatment
beds " in Toronto Western
Hospital are allocated to
seniors awaiting, places in
chronic care hospitals. In
Windsor, some 25 of the
Metropolitan Hospital's beds
are filled by chronic care pa-
tients because that City's
chronic care hospital awaits
Ministerial approval.
The Ottawa General
Hospital cited a minimum
192 bed deficit for Ottawa -
Carleton in 1981,
documented by the Regional
District Health Council,
pointing out that unlike other
metropolitan areas, the
Region does not meet the
Ministry's 3.5 beds per 1,000
population guideline. Since
the OGH with its 449 beds oc-
cupied at a rate superior to
90 per cent is already
underbedded, the situation
will become extremely
distressing unless Corrective
measures are rapidly taken.
As of March 1982, accor-
ding to the Hospital Council
of Metro Toronto, a total of
888 patients were inap-
propriately placed in 19
hospitals.
Across the province, emo-
tionally disturbed patients
are being released from in-
stitutions without the
necessary assistance to
tackle and resolve their pro-
blems. Lack of aftercare and
provincial -follow-up on these
discharged patients has
seriously strained the
resources of community
agencies concerned with the
welfare Of these abandoned
people. There is an urgent
need to come to grips with
the grave•deficiencies m On-
tario's mental health care,
especially with respect to
management of psychiatric
hospitals and the provision
of community-based after-
care for ex -psychiatric pa-
tients.
Ottawa -Carleton emergen-
cy physicians want to save 20
to 25 additional lives each
year, by instituting more
complex medical procedures
