Hospital will benefit from increase
The Wingham and District
Hospital stands to benefit
from an increase in health
care funding announced
prior to the fall of the Frank
Miller government last
week.
In a report to the hospital
board on Wednesday .night,
Administrator Norman
Hayes passed on the "rather
encouraging note" that
former Health IVh lister
Philip Andrewes had an-
nounced overall health
funding in Ontario would rise
by 7.7 per cent instead of 6.7
per cent this year.
. Those figures . are some-
what misleading when it
comes to funding for
hospitals, Mr. Hayes said,
but the changes will mean an
increase in the hospital's
provinelal funding of about
3.9 per cent, up from the 2.75
per cent promised earlier.
The result will be "ad-
ditional bucks in our pocket"
of about $64,400, he told the
board.
Last year the hospital

received $5.8 million from
the Health Ministry in a total
budget of $6.3 million.
In other business at the
meeting, the board heard
that it will have to pay
almost $5,000 more for
liability insurance this year,8
an increase of moi than 50
per cent.
Asked if the insurance
policy had been put out for
bids, Mr. Hayes said there
were several reasons why it
was not, adding he does npt
think it would have made
much difference if it had
been. There are only two
companies offering hospital
insurance now, he said. One
works through. the Ontario
Hospital Association, where
the hospital used to have its
insurance, and the other is
the Frank Cowan Company,
which currently holds the
hospital policy.
He noted one reason for the for the hospital was accepted

The Wingham hospital will
pay $13,987 for insurance this
year, up -from $9,037 last
year.
In what was its final
session before the hospital
annual meeting Thursday
night, the board approved an
ambulance services budget
of $234,639 for 1985-86 and.a
budget for the RNA traning
centre of $85,922.
A draft operating budget
Mr. Hayes told the board
the new building is 80 per
cent complete. The remain-
ing work is mostly cosmetic
and should begin to come
together over the next couple
of months, he said.
However the board agreed
with a recommendation
from the public relations
committee that the official
opening should be left until
next spring. It also agreed to
invite the lieutenant -

Reporting for the public
relations committee, Mary
Lou Thompson told the board
of plans to produce a hospital
calendar this year instead of
placemats for restaurants.
The calendar would have
photographs from the
hospital as well as listings of
various clinic dates.
The cost of producing
10,000 copies and bulk -
mailing them to every home
in the area would amount to
about $12,200 she said, ad-
ding that the committee had
spent "considerably more"
on the placemats last year.
The board gave approval
in principle to the project,
with Dr. Brian Hanlon
suggesting it might be
possible to approach drug
companies for advertising to
help offset the cost.
In a report from the
medical staff, the board Was
told that Dr. Hanlon will be
remaining as chief of .1st 'f

approved making the life
member subject to the same
requirements as an annual
member; attention shifted
back to the membership fee.
Ross Procter proposed
returning the annual fee to
one dollar. When Dr. Hardin
objected that this would cost
the hospital money, Mr. Pike
pointed out that the hospital
already is supported by tax
dollars, "and we're all tax-
payers."
axpayers."
It also is currently running
a $400,000 a year surplus, he
noted, adding that to raise
the fee would-ionly deter
people from taking part in
the meetings.
This amendment also was
approved, leaving the fee at
one dollar.
The meeting did approve a
proposal raising the donation
required for a life member-
ship to $500 in any one year
from $100. It was noted this
will not affect anyone
already holding a life
membership.
After all this had been
sorted out the rest of the
bylaw changes, dealing with
such matters asYthe calling
of special meetings, conflict
of interest and committee
procedures, were approved
quickly and easily. Only one
change was made, requiring
five weeks published notice
of the annual meeting in-
stead of four weeks as
proposed. The original bylaw
had required only two weeks
notice.
The annual meeting also
ratified the policy permitting
the public to attend board
meetings as observers and to
approach the board as depu-
tations. This policy had been
put in place by the board at
the start of the year, but had
to be ratified in order to
remain in effect.
The election of governors
proceeded swiftly and with-
out incident, with incumbent
members being returned to
their seats with no opposi-
tion.

le who had held it for many
years. It was filled by Lor-
