YOUTH PROGRAMS
ONTARIO
On gay 8th. 1964, the Ontario Legislature ordered
'That a Select Committee of this House be appointed to conduct
a comprehensive inquiry into and report upon the special needs
of youth with particular/reference to educational, cultural, recre-
ational and employment opportunities as well as the' health,
welfare and sports facilities now available to youth and the steps
to be taken which in the opinion of the Committee would enable
a wider participation by ybuth in the life of the community;
"To conduct hearings for the purpose of receibing representations'
from organizations and indkviduals engaged „in 'youth activities
and to hold• meetings to study the experience of others in the
youth field ...".
The Committee has defined
youth as those persons in the
age range 14 to 24. It is recog-'
nized that certain situations
may involve other age groups;
the Committee's focus of study,
however, is on youth as defined.
It is the intention of the Com-
mittee to hear organizations
and to visit places where there
are active youth programs; to
invite briefs from municipalities,
from individuals and organi-
zations, private and public; to
study submissions and make
recomm-bndatlons.
It is expected that the
Committee will be ready by
early fall to scheduie"fri'betings
in various centres.' It is urged
that individuals ari)
d organiza-
tions who wish 't meet the
Committee contac the Secre-
tary, Select Committee on
Youth, the Parliamen't'Build-
ings, Queen's Park, Toronto
Ontario, before August alst, in
order that the Committee may
prepare its fall schedule.
If a delegation or single
.applicant intends to prepare a
brief, It is suggested that the
Secretary be provided with a
short summary stating the
problems and the majo>
conclusions.

NEW HOSPITAL INSURANCE PREMIUMS
More people . in Ontario receive
better and more costly hospital care
than ever before
On the average day some 56,000 patients —enough people to populate
a city — are under care in hospitals of all types in Ontario. These patients
are receiving skilled treatment, which has never -been equalled in the
history of the province. Furthermore, the cost of medically -necessary
hospital care is no longer a roblem for over 98% of Ontario's residents
who participate in tlyzirlovernment-sponsored hospital plan ... the
plan that ended hospital -expense worries in Ontario.
BETTER CARE --HIGHER COST
For many years the cost of hospital care has been going up steadily, not only in
Ontario but also in the rest of Canada and in other countries. Though costly, the
advanced scientific facilities and special skills available in hospitals are essential
in treating the sick. The quality of necessary hospital care cannot be sacrificed.
Since 1959 the average cost to the Commission for one day of patient care has
increased by approximately 50%.
WHY COSTS CONTINUE TO RISE -
PRICES . ARE UP
Hospitals, like everyone else, are paying more.for
salaries and wages, food, drugs, equipment, -sup-
plies and services.
About 704• of every $1.00 in hospital costs is used
to pay hospital employees. Hospitals, today, have
more and better -paid employees to serve more
patients and provide essential round-the-clock care.
HOSPITALS ARE USED MORE
Greater use- is being made of hospitals as medical
science now provides many new, costly types of
treatment which require admission to hospital.
These procedures require more skilled staff, more
facilities, drugs and other expensive;, supplies.
Furthermore, there is no longer a financial barrier
to necessary care, somore people obtain the care
they need without being burdened by the cost. Also,
there are increasing numbers of elderly citizens
many of whom require prolonged treatment in
hospital.
MORE BEDS AVAILABLE
In 1947, Ontario had only 17,473 active treatment,
chronic and convalescent hospital beds; in 1958
there were 31,000. Today there are over 40',000
such beds available to insured 'persons and, by
1970, it is anticipated there will be 47;000. More
beds mean more patients, more cost.
In addition,..insured patients are entitled to care, •
without charge, in provincial mental hospitals
(23,000 beds) and tuberculosis sanatoria (1,825
beds).
ADDITIONAL OUT-PATIENT SERVICES
Beginning July 1st, 1964 the following services will be included as out-patient benefits:
1) Hospital visits to complete treatment •of fractures
which were originally treated on an in-patient
basis. (Previously, this benefit was only for frac-
tures originally treated on an out-patient basis
within 24 hours of an accident.)
2) Radiotherapy hospital services for the treatment
of cancer in clinics of the Ontario Cancer Founda-
tion and hospitals approved by the Commission
for these services:
3) When prescribed by a licensed physician as 'a
medically -necessary course of treatment and ,pro-
vided by hospitals approved by the Commission:
a) Use of physiotherapy and occupational ther-
apy facilities where available. Note: Conn,yyid-
oration is being given to approval of 'dlher
physiotherapy facilities 'at an early •date. A
further airnounceritent will be ntade.
b) Speech therapy where available >and rlrrovlklell
by qualified therapists for the treatmettt df lab
• organic illness er injury.
Note: The above summary is for your convenience only. For detailed information please refer
to the provisions of the Provincial and Federal Acts and Regulations' respecting these.mattere.
NEW PREMIUM RATES
(Standard Ward Care)
Because of continued rising costs, the Provincial Gov- also paid an additional V$157 8 million for 'the anew f
ernment has announced increased premium rates for
Ontario Hospital Insurance beginning with the regular
advance payment to cover the benefit month of Oc-
tober, 1964. In 1961, 1962 and 1963 the Provincial
