"The hospital shall cooperate to 'the fullest extend with all other health care agencies to maintain and improve community he_alth programs 'In order to meet the changing health care needs of the community the Board of Governors shall be responsible for the establish- ment and ongoing review of. short and long-range plans for the hospital. "The Board of Governors shall review the mission statement every three years." This statement, which must still be ratified at the annual meeting of the hospital association in June, replaces a much vaguer preamble to the' hospital bylaws which identified the objectives of the hospital in terms such as: "To give care and treat- ment 'to the sick," and "To provide as wide a range of services as are applicable to an institution of our size." The new mission statement, which was brought to the 'board by the joint conference committee (a committee made up of several board members, doctors and the hospital administrator) was ap- proved unanimously. However the board delayed taking action on a second recommendation, to establish a quality appraisal committee to monitor how well the hospital is meeting its objectives, after several board members, raised ques- tions about whether the committee as proposed would be adequate to carry out its functions. Board Chairman Mary Vair said the job of the committee would be, among other things: to ensure the mission statement is upheld, that care provided is of the highest calibre, that resources are used ap- propriately and that staff morale is.boosted. Administrator Norman Hayes also told the board that every 'accredited hospital now has such a committee. However Robert Mid- dleton expressed concern that the committee, which would be composed of dors,, headsof depart- ments and other hospital staff, would have no- way off reporting directly to the board so that its recom- mendations could be "derailed" without the board ever hearing about them. "I'll try not to do that (derail them)," Mr. Hayes told him, but he confirmed that the committee would report primarily to depart- ment heads and not to the board. Nancy McDonald-Exe1 and Hans Kuyvenhoven then asked whether such a- coinmjttee, which would consist basically of hospital staff reviewing each other, would have the expertise to carry out the kind of ap- praisal being asked of it. Describing the committee as "basically an internal audit department", Mrs. McDonald-Exel asked, "Do you have qualified people on staff to -do an internal audit?" - Mr. Hayes did not quarrel with her description but said staff are qualified to judge some things. However Dr. Walter Wong said it is wrong to consider this an audit committee; its task is merely appraisal, to look around and "report what it sees'. At the same time he com- plicated Mrs. McDonald- Exel on raising these ques- tions and unged her to ask for • more time to study the pro- posal if she wished. wished. It also was emphasized that the committee would have no "teeth" but would simply make reports and recommendations to the appropriate departments. Following an extended discussion, Mrs. Vair agreed to hold the matter over until the May board meeting to give members more time to study it.

The Winghatn Advance -Times, Apr. 24, 1985 -Page 3 LOTS OF FURRY CREATURES -Young Derek Elliott and his mom, Grace, checked out the table overflowing with stuffed animals at the craft show and sale held at Howick Central School last Saturday., The fine day brought out a good crowd to the event. - Separate school budget increases 4.1 per cent The 1985 budget of the Hur- on -Perth Roman Catholic Separate 'School Board has increased 4.1 per cent over last year's figure. The school board approved a $9.4• million budget at a special meeting on April 15. Last year the board spent $9.3 million, which included renovations tothree schools. Board chairman Ron Mar- cy of Stratford described the approved budg t as "de- cent". Catholica payers in Huron and Perth Counties will provide $1.8 million, to be raised by the school board through taxes. This repre- sents 20.5 per cent of the en- tire budget. The 1985 mill rate for each municipality has increased by 6.5 this year. The average mill rate for. Huron -Perth .is 69.75. One mill raises $26,313. Finance Committee Chair- man Ron Murray said the 6.5 per cent mill rate increase is more than he expected. He said the mill rate increase is due mainly to the cost of a French immersion program starting in. Goderich and Stratford this September. The school board's budget includes $143,225 for French immersion from September to December. Of that amount, $27,034 is 'consider- ed to be a one-time cost, but the rest is for teachers' sal- aries.. To offset' those costs,- the osts, .the school board will receive $2x20 °fol- each student enroll- ed in French. immersion from the Ministry of Educa- tion. The province, through the ministry, will pick up the rest of the board's costs. The largest expenditure is instruction which includes teachers' salaries. The board has budgeted $6.3 mil- lion for this year, $88,000 more than to 1984. The sep- arate school teachers' con- tract has not Yet been settled but negotiations are con- tinuing. The upkeep and heating of Catholic schools is expected to cost $1.18 million this year. This is up $298,124 from last year's cost. The budget includes $279,000 for roof replace- ments, however superinten- dent of business and finance, Jack Lane, said roof re- placements will only be done if the Ministry of Education NO DOUBT ABOUT IT -Four-year-old Alysha Metcalfe and Wingham Deputy Reeve Patricia Bailey made it quite plain how they feel about the provincial govern- ments plan to cut funding to day care centres such as Wingham's, as they prepared to take part in a protest march from the nursery school to the day care centre on William Street Tuesday morning. More than 100 tots and parents took part in the protest, which was echoed in other centres across the province. provides grant money for this project. He said the ministry has indicated there may be money for 1986. Transportation costs are expected to be $1.1 million, up $156,900 from last year. This includes $57,500 for re- placing two school buses, but this also is dependent upon provincial funding. Mr. Lane said $95,000 in the transportation budget this year is actually "new money". Besides the new . buses, this includes $36,000 for transporting Catholic trainable mentally retarded students., The Catholic board is pur- chasing services for 12 ment- ally retarded students now, arid the number is expected to increase to 14 in Septem- ber. The services are being purchased from the Huron and Perth` County boards of education. Mr. Marcy put part of the blame for the increase on the provincial government. He said the provincial govern- ment's grant to the Huron - Perth board increased by only about 3.5 per cent, while OHIP premiums increased 15.8 per cent, workman's compensation premiums in- creased 36.8 per cent, UIC is up 10 per cent and Canada Pension Plan p"remiums are up 17 per cent. The school board has in- cluded $204,795 in its budget to buy 47 additional "Icons" (educational computers) and 10 printers. Th'e board already has 35 Icons in its schools. Mr. Lane said the computers will not be pur- chased unless grant money is available from the prov- ince.
