evidence in an attempt to prove
optometrist s should not be
allowed to administer diagnostic
drugs, Albert Roy, Liberal Hea-
lth critic said this week. Mr.
Roy said he was appalled that
the medical association would
resort to misrepresentation and
scared tactics to keep diagnostic
drugs solely in the domain of
eye doctors. Ile explained that
last month the Association sent
a brief to all members of the
legislature attempting to show
that optical anethetics and
dilating drugs could have serious
side effects and that optomet-
rists should not be allowed to
use them. Mr. Roy, MPP for
Ottawa East, said there is over-
whelming evidence that optom-
etrists with the proper care can
use diagnostics drugs in the
same way as eye doctors.
Members of Parliament have
been receiveing a number of
enquiries about the guaranteed
annual income system as it
applies to senior citizens which
comes into effect July 1, 1974.
Perhaps the matter could be
clarified with the use of the
following example:
A single old aged pensioner
who has no outside income
receiving a maximum old age
security and guaranteed income
supplement of $191.06 will
receive from the province
$25.61 per month to bring the
pension total to $216. 67. The
Province is guaranteeing an
income of $216.67 per month
to each single pensioner. If the
outside income plus the old age
security and guaranteed income
supplement equal or exceed
$216.67 then the province will
not make any further payments.
However, if those three sources
of income do not exceed $216.
67, the province will make up
the difference.
To calculate a pensioners
couple's new guaranteed income
the same procedure as set out
above is followed. Their new
guaranteed income is $433.33.
per month. At the moment a
couple that has no outside in-
come receives a maximum old
age security pension plus the
guaranteed income supplement
of $364.49. To this will be
added $68.84 to make the
$433.33. As long as the outside
income plus the old age secur-
ity and the guaranteed income
supplement do not exceed
$433.33 the province will mal<e
up the difference to that point.
