Reject Health Unit aid •
For incrOte In Services
Members of •Hurort County
Council on Monday morning
passed an increased basic bud-
get for the 1968 operation of
the Huron County Health Unit
but rejected a plea by Dr. G.
1', A. Evans for an added ex-
penditure of $18,675 to finance
the development of several new
services.
Dealing with the report of the
board of health, council approv-
ed a $1873260 basic budget rep-
resenting an increase of raore
than $10,000 over last year's
estimated budget. Subsequent.
ly, a 22-16 recorded vote turn-
ed down ' a program develop-
ment factor which was to have
begun work in environmental
hygiene, geriatrics, n3ental
health, topical flourides and
multi -phasic population screen-
ing.
Dr, Evans, medical officer of
health for the county explained
that much needed to be done
in the field of environmental
hygiene including- work on pest
control, misuse of pesticides,
water, sewage, air pollution and
food control> He added that
sanitation of recreational facili-
ties and regular inspections of
funeral homes would be cover-
ed under this new service.
Geriatric work would be a
modest beginning on the job of
assisting elderly Huron County
residents to be happy and well
adjusted. It would simply pro-
vide additional time for public

health nursing staff to call on
senior citizens to determine
their wants and needs.
To imnrove the mental health
of Huron citizens, it was pro -
prised to set up a family gui-
dance centre which would be
centrally located to serve the
entire community.
Another proposal was to in-
troduce a service now provided
in aonae cities where. young
children may have their teeth
painted with a flouride solu-
tion to reduce the incidents of
costly, painful, unnecessary cav-
ities.
Perhaps most pertinent in the
business of modern preventive
medicine wire the proposed
clinics for testing to detect lung
and cervical cancer in its early
stages as well as arthritis and
rheumatism.
-Upon learning that the coun-
ty was not in favor of raising
the funds to maintain thhe
"sound investment" Dr. Evans
warned that Huron County
could be "stepping backward"
as far as the provision of an up-
to-date public health unit was
conserned.
Council had learned earlier
that the board of health will
lose the National Health Grantd
effective March 31, 1968, Which
last year totalled more than
$13,000. The government has
discontinued these grants in
view of the new legislation
which permits health districts.
Under the health district ar-
rangement the entire program
would be subsidized at the rate
of 75 percent. Capital costs
would be subsidized at the rate
of °two-thirds of the cost cf
new buildings.
Huron last year rejected the
idea of amalgamating with
Perth County, the town of St.
Marys and the City of Stratford
to form a health district. With
the County of Huron remain-
ing as a health unit only, max-
imum subsidy available to
council le now 50 percent. Of
the total budget, the cost to
Huron taxpayers is estimated to
be $91,163 for this year.
Cost to the county last year
was about $71,000. Clerk John
Berry pointed out that increas-
ed salaries accounted for the
greatest rise in costs but that
two additional health inspectors,
establislunent of a new branch
in Brussels, decreased grants
from government and short
spending last year made up the
$20,000 difference.
In his report, pr. Evans drew
council's attention to the book-
let published to record the
findings of a geriatric study
(old age) recently completed in
Huron. He also pointed out that
the number of live births was
down for last year in the coun-
ty and that there had been a
startling increase in the num-
ber of traffic deaths in Huron.
He added that it was more and
more evident that mental sub-
normalities and emotional dis-
turbances were factors in vio-
lent driving habits.
Council gave its approval for
Dr. Evans to trevel to Vancouv-
er to attend the three-day Can-
adian Public Health Association
, annual convention there and for
the board of health to take out
,naerobership in the Ontario
Health Units Association.
Members also accepted a rec-
ommendation of the board of
health that the indigent rate
payable to nursing homes be
set at $8.50 per day although a
by-law had been passed earlier
this year setting the rate at $8.
Board of health chairman,
Clifford Dunbar explained that
he had learned the by-law had-
n't been "worth the paper it's
written on".

HOSPITALS AND HOSPITAL SERVICES ARE BETTER THAN EVER,'
BUT THEIR COSTS ARE RISING STEADILY...AND SO ARE OURS.

PRICES ARE UP
Hospitals, like everyone else, are paying more for salaries,
wages and fringe benefits, and more for food, drugs,
equipment, Supplies and services.
• SERVICE IS BETTER
. Medical science now provides many new; costly types of
treatment which require admission to hospital. While
these procedures prolong life and improve health, they
also increase the use of hospitals and require More skilled
staff, more facilities, more drugs and other expensive
supplies.
WHY COSTS CONTINUE TO RISE
HOSPITALS ARE USED MORE
Greater use is also, being made of hospitals because there
is no longer a financial Wirier to necessary care, more
hospital beds are available and there are increasing num-
bers of elderly citizens, many of whom require prolonged
treatment in hospital. In 1947, Ontario had only 17,473
active treatment, chronic and convalescent hospital beds;
in 1958 there were 31,000. Today there are over 46,800
such beds available to insured persons. More beds mean
more patients, more cost, 7--

community. This -means that hospitals, today, have more
and better paid employees to provide their essential round4

About 75¢ Otit of every $1.00 in insured hospital services
represents salaries, wages and fringe benefits for'hospital
employees. Hospital staffs now enjoy employment condi-
tions which are comparable in rates and hours of work
• NEW PREM
There has been no change in Ontario Hospital Insurance
premiums since 1964, and this has been made possible
through increased Provincial Government contributions
from general revenues to maintain the premium rates
established at that time. In the years 1965, 1966, and 1967,
the Provincial Government contributed $176.5 million in
support of -the plan, plus some $334 million for mental and
tuberculosis care, and for special and capital hospital
grants, to a total of $510.5 million.
IUM RATES
The Government has now found it necessary, however, to
introduce new premiums to help meet the sharp increase
in the cost of the Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan. Tho
Provincial Government, will continue to contribute sub-
stantially to the cost of hospital care, ,and • the Federal
Government's contribution will also keep pace with the
rising plan costs.
The new premiums effective with regular advance pap
ments for the benefit month ofluly, 1968, are'
