HURON -MIDDLESEX The Minister of Health recently announced budget plans for Ontario Hospitals for the fiscal year 1979-80. A 5.3 percent increase is planned for each chronic care and rehabilitation hospital, for chronic care and rehabilitation • units within active treatment hospitals, and for out- patient operations. A 4.5 percent increase is planned for, public hospitals, after ad- justments for bed - population guidelines. There is to be a three- year program to phase in bed -population guidelines of 3.5 beds per 1,000 referral population in Southern Ontario and four beds per 1,000 in Northern Ontario. The Minister stated that ' no hospital will receive less money in this fiscal year than last, and that district health councils and other organized local health planning bodies will have increasing respon- sibilities in co-ordinating health care services for both hospitals and alternate forms of care, such as long-term care. He mentioned copajrmne-rtt- adjustments for ambulance services, the introduction of $9.80 per diem copayment .for long-term chronic care „and capital financing incentives for hospital cost-saving projects. There is to be continued funding for life support and one -of -a -kind programs, and long-term care servicesU may be' expanded -as a result of studies of long-term care requirements now being conducted by district health councils and other health planning bodies. Two kinds of ad- justments will affect hospitals as of April 1st. The first is with respect to budgets, and the second is in connection with measures designed to encourage "better use of the health system" specifically copayment or user fees. As the Minister pointed out, the principle of user fees is not new. Those who use ambulances and those in nursing homes have paid user fees ever since then I services Insured persons who use the ambulance service are charged a fee for each trip and extended care residents of nursing homes are charged a per diem rate. Certain user fees have ' also been recommended by a number of com- mittees and groups studying health costs in recent ,months, such as the Taylor Committee• and the Legislature's Select Committee on Health Care Financing and Costs. The Minister pointed• out that at this time some 35,000 extended care patients in nursing homes and homes for the aged pay a per diem charge, while patients in chronic hospitals, yvhich cost far Y•more, now. pay no per diem fee at all. There is currently no incentive to move patients from chronic beds to nursing home keds when nursing home care could more properly meet their needs. The Government is therefore introducing a per diem charge for those oc- cupying a chronic bed in a public or chronic hospital longer than 60 days. • The 60 -day qualifying period begins February 1st. As of April 1, 1979, the fee is to be $9.80 a day, equal to the per diem nursing home fee. The same fee would also. -apply to those occupying a bed in a provincial psychiatric hospital longer than 60 days. - Exemptions from the chronic care copayment will . include those on Family • Benefit Allowance and on General Welfare Assistance, as 'well as those veterans in Sun- nybrook and Westminster for whose care we have agreements with the federal government. As of April 1st, the ambulance copayment will increase, for the first time since its inception 11 years ago. For insured persons, it will increase from $5 to $20. The mileage charge for longer trips will be abolished. For those not insured or for uninsured services, such as medically un- necessary trips, the user Charge will increase from $25 to $40. The actual cost of an average ambulance trip is about $ O. We can and rstand the became insured benefits. reasoning of the .gover- nment in attempting to restrain the budgets of general hospitals and to charge certain patients a copayment fee. We are somewhat concerned, however, that • the alternatives to these acute care facilities •1 ave not been provided, and the proposals of- the government will require further assessment, As Stuart Smith has stated, the• proposal to levy a charge against those in psychiatric hospitals for more than 60 days is crude, cruel ,and discriminatory. Patients are likely; even after 60 days, to be in the acute phase of their illness. Most of them still must maintain their homes and families since they are very likely to recover sufficiently to return to • their regular pattern. Furthermore„ they are, with modern treatment, likely to be visiting home regularly during their hospital stay.- They are not in a position to be paying `rent" to the psychiatric hospital while maintaining their own home and family. While both the Taylor Committee and the Select Committee on Health Care costs and financing recommended user charges for certain chronic care patients in order to treat them on the same basis as those in nursing homes who currently pay per diem charges, neither Com- mittee recommended such charges for psychiatric patients. As the Minister has proposed it to date, we see little alternative but to oppose this suggestion. In addition, within a so- called "overbedded" area (over four beds per thousand) all hospitals are being treated the same. Instead of dealing with each hospital in- dividually, efficient hospitals and inefficient ones alike are to be restrained on the basis of their geographic location. ' Because efficiency receives no reward, morale will be un- dermined in those hospitals that have been making a genuine effort to utilize their facilities in an economical and ef- ficient manner. This is unwise, in our view. We would like to see the restraints related tosome extent to a hospital's record of economy and . 1 efficiency 1
