General Hospital held their
first regular meeting of the

board meeting marks a
"first" for the local hospital.
This is the beginning of a
monthly reporting to the
Signal -Star which is aimed at
making the public aware of
the important activities of the
Board. .
A component of the regular
meetings of the board is the
detailed examination of the
expenditures during the
accounting period im-
mediately , preceeding the
meeting. The August ex-
penditures, in the amount of
$358,215.00 were reviewed and
uppod.
One ajar cost increase in
operatin'gxpense was noted
relative to the P.U.C. bill.
There was a 33 percent in-
crease in the cost of P.U.C.
services, from $2,08.00 in
July to $3,611.00 in August.
The Board has directed the
Administrator', J. W. Banks to
investigate the reason for the
large variation.

each generation the needs
and wants increase in the
affluent first world,
Offering was taken by
Violet Fuller and dedicated
by Winnie Walters. The
meeting closed with a hymn
followed by a social half
hour.
Walker, presented his report
which dealt with the activities
of the various committees of
the medical staff.
One item dealt with the
urgent need for two pieces of
equi/ment for the operating
room. These were a ven-
timeter used in anaesthesia
and an infusion pump for
precise control of intravenous
therapy, especially in the
operating room and in very
young children. These were
approved for purchase in an
approximate amount of
$5,500. A further piece of
equipment was held . in
abeyance for further study.
A major problem in the
hospital's structure was
identified, and that
elated to the building which
houses the hospital's laundry
and essential storage space.
A recently commissioned
engineering report indicated
needed repairs of a minimum

use the structure for only part
of its current purpose.
The Board also heard from
the Administrator that some
of the laundry machinery was
nearing the end of -its ex-
pected life, and would need
replacement in the not too
distant future. These points
combined with a recent
Ministry of Health Fire
Safety Consultant's report
generated much discussion.
The net result was the
passing of two motions. The
Administrator was to pursue
the possibility of having the
laundry done outside the
hospital. This to be primarily
directed towards the
Bluewater Centre. He is also
to have preliminary sketch
plans and cost estimates
prepared to replace the
huiIding.
Banks indicated that the

maximum time limit is 20

discourages a loan exceeding
the life of the house.
The program does not
permit renovations or

work is absolutely

Recently, the Board of
Governors had a Hospital
Employee Opinion Survey
carried out, as a component
of an overall management
development program, which
was conducted during the
spring of 1977. Chairman Mrs.
Jo Berry presented the Board
with a consolidation of the
actions being taken' as a
result of the ()pinion Survey.
These were explicit, and
indicated many positive steps
relative to improving hospital
wide communications, co-
ordination and co-operation..
The actions will take months
to conte 'to fruition in some
cases, but will hotter identify
and regularize many func-
tions in the hospital.
One of the things which
came out of the program was
the evolution of a specific
evaluation of the
Administrator's per-
formance. The Chairman of
the Board presented the first
such evaluation, and it in-
dicated a favourable im-
pression of the incumbent, J.
W. Banks.
In reviewing the hospital
departments, the Board was
apprised of the high level of
technical excellence being
demonstrated in the
laboratory, and wish to
commend Ron Klages and his
staff. All areas of the
hospital's operation were
reviewed and the Board
expressed their satisfaction
with the performance so
identified.
