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 GRADUATED Elizabeth Brydges, daughter of Harry and Marily Brydges of Belgrav graduated from Humber College on June 21, receiving her diploma in journalism. She is presently employed at the Goderich Signal -Star and CKNX. 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 higher fee is an increase in as 'a working document for the liability limit to $10 internal purposes, but it was million from $5 Million, not made public. Treasurer 'while the other reason is a Gordon Baxter explained the general increase in the cost budget was not complete of liability coverage. because the hospitl had not Hospital insurance is yet been officially notified getting to be a "very;. very what its actual funding tight field", he said, and would be from the Health there are some hospitals in Ministry. the United States which can no longer get any liability insurance. 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.

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.

(Continued from Page 1) 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. For the Town of Wingham, John Schenk and Robert Middleton both were ac- claimed to a second two-year term, as were Jean Whitby from Lucknow-Kinloss, '1Niirrc'y "M-acDonald-E,xel from Brussels and Mary Lou Thompson from teeswater- Culross. There was just one - vacancy, the seat for East Wawanosh-Blyth, due to the retirement of Isobel Arbuck- le who had held it for many years. It was filled by Lor- raine Cook, who was nom- inated by both municipal councils. She also was unop- posed. Other elected members of the board who are ° in the second year of a two-year term are Ross Davies and Roger Keay from Wingham, Shirley Garniss from Morris, Alex Graham from Howick, Hans Kuyvenhoven from Turnberry and Marian Zinn from West Wawanosh- Ashfield.
