Splepdid Work Achieved By Health Planning -Commission

merlfde by the Provlnciil Deport-

Tho origin of the Provlnclnl Health Planning Commission. whose voluminous report was re- lensed for publicnti ; rdsy. dates from 1948. At that time the Prime Minister nnnounccd at Ot- tawa that 830,000,000 in health grants would be made available annually to the Provincu. Prince Edward island! lhnre in 1948-40 was in the following nmourits un- der the several grunts: Crippled children 37,473; professionsl train- ing 37,413, hospitnl construction 097,308, venereal disease 82.058, mental health 353,257, tuberculos- is control 540.774, public health research (not apportioned by Provinces), health survey (not. of annual occurrence) 816.000, gen- eral publlo health 332.900, cancer control s26,l9B.

The acceptance of these grsnta by the Province was consequent on its setting up machinery, with the assistance of the health sur- vey grant, which would ensure the most effective use of the oth- er health grants, fn planning the extension of hospital accom- modation and the proper organ- ization of hospital and medical rare insurance. The acceptance or the grants. however, was not conditional upon the Provinces undertaking to enter a health in- surance plan. By Federal order- in-council dated July 15, 1948. the Provincial Health Planning Com- lmlssion was set up for carrying lout the purposes of the health 'survey grant.

Board Appolniecn

Appointed to the membership of this Commission in Prince Ed- ward Island were the following: Dr. J. W. Shaw, chairman, Char- lottetown: Arthur Belcher, Char-

llottetown; Miss Dorothy Cox, R.N.,

Charlottetown; Dr. W. B. How- att, Summerside, representing the P. E. I. Medichl Association; Dr. J. G. Murphy, Charlottetown: Dr. W. J. MacMillan, Charlotte- town, representing the P. E. 1. Medical Association; Mr. M. J. McQuaid, Souris; Mr. Justice 0. J. Tweedy, Charlottetown; Mr. Henry Wedge, Summerside.

The first concern of the Com- mission was in making an assess- ment of existing public health services throughout the Province, and for this purpose various sub- committees were appointed. Re- commendations for the use of several health grants were made to the Minister of Health and Welfare, and the acceptance of

10-these led to the reorganization of

the Health Branch of the Depart- ment, which is now established on a. divisional basis.

Hospital Survey

Concurrent with planning the judicial use of the several health grants. in survey was carried out of hospital facilities and accom- modations within the Province. In conjunction with this survey it was thought advisable to give some study to the nursing sit- uation. This wss carried out by n sub-committee of the Commis- sion, and was the basis on which adequate legislation was subse- quently recommended and approv-

ed. In 1949 the Commission partic- ipated in the orgtiniution oft a

merit of Health," the report now. "has never been clearly defined. In the put, on occasion, the chief Henlth Officer of the Provincial Department has been employed on n part-time basis to serve in Charlottetown. Also, I fee has been paid to the Provincial Gov- ernment for the services of one public health nurse, under the direction 'of the Chief Health Of- ficer, to serve in the City."

It was recommended, from the point of view of both efficiency und economy. that each of these health districts be administered and served by the Provincial health organization.

With regard to hospital fncilit- ies, the report notes that during the survey. major construction. for the purpose of increasing the number of hospital beds, was tok- lng place at each of the three larger hospitals. "When complet- ed by 1051, the number of general hospital beds in the Province will have increased by approximately 45 per cent."

In 1948 there were 63 register- ed doctors in practice in the Prov- ince. Of these. 51 were located in one of the eight municipalities, and the remaining 12 in rural com- munitles.

Nursing Recommendations

An important feature of the re- port is the brief from the Nursing Committee, outlining two plans for alleviating the shortage of nurses. The first recommend- ation, which was implemented at the last session of the Legislature, outlined a short-term plan for the training of nursfhg aids who could perform.adequntely many proced- ures now assigned to professional nurses, and who could complete their training period in nine months. This recommendation was implemented at the last ses- sion of the Legislature.

The second plan, providing for more and better qualified profes- sional nurses, recommends g other things, appointment of n supervisor of practical nurses, financial assistance to enable needy prospective students of nursing to complete their matric- ulation, and a retirement pension scheme to induce nurses to re- main in this Province after grad- uation. -

The report also goes fully into the cost of public health and hos- pitalization in the Province. In this connection it is noted that during the period under review. from 1931 to 1949, the Provincial Department of Health and Wei- fare expanded in its activities over 400 per cent: that is, if the per caplta cost to the taxpayers can be used as a criterion of ex- pansion. However. over this per- iod it is indicated that the De- partment remain d fairly constant with the overall expansion of all departments of Government. The yearly expenditure from provincial revenue has retained an average of 10.2 per cent of total govern- ment expendlture throughout the year.

IIAIIIIIS TO BE

Continued from page 1

committee of - from each of the three Msrltime Provinces, which was inter broad- ened to include Newfoundland.

Finally the matter of hospital medical care insurance was giv-

en conslderable study by the Commission, at meetings to which the president and mem-

bers of the P. E. 1. Medical As- sociation, and members of the various hospital boards of mint- ees, were invited. A substantial part of the report now released consist of recommendations cris- ing from the discussions at these several meetings.

The Comm' ' f's recommend- ations were in some cases hasten- ed by the fsct that the majority of the Federal health grants were not cumulative,-that is, the amount unexpended It the close of each fiscal year was lost to the Province. Therefore it was the problem to advise the immed- iate use of grant funds during the development stngel of the survey. At one of the esrly meetings the Commission recommended that the Provincial Department be re- organized and thst 3 Deputy Min- ister for I-Ienlth and A Deputy Minister for Welfare be appointed, also that these two ndmini.strnt- on be relieved of certain non- technical routine procedures in order that their respective bronch- cs might receive full ndvln of their training end abilities.

Ilenllh Unite

The health units were also re- orgnnised, and the Province suit- ably demu-outed for the purpose of (1) public heslth sdministrh tion, (2) public health nursing services, and (8) hospital Inning. For this study the lot or town- ship was used as the unit of pop- ulation, and the school district for boundary-line purposes. It was recommended that twenty health

be placed at or near Orwell, the birthplace of this noted Islander. The site will be detemilned when information is more fully available as to the route of the 'rrans-Cnn- ado highwry through the Orwell district , when the possibility of having the.memorini erected on the highway mly be fully explored. A third plaque, already in place on the Provimcial Building. but not yet officially unveiled, comemor- lies the entrance of Prince Edward Island as a. province of the Dom- infon, which reads is ' " un-

The lieu-ins in the Goorutwn supreme court ended early in the Afternoon. Another similar henring will be held this morning in Bum- lncrcidc.

In snnounclns the reason for the presence of the committee Mr. W.I".A. stew-in, M.L.A., chair- msn, wondered why they should have either train or bus service in Georgetown. "People who have such I beautiful country should be content to stay inft."

Jlr. .v.o.c. Campbell. 60-. Dec- rotsry of the committee. said he felt there was no need. to rend the briefs again u all inuxrested psi-ties had received and they had been published in the newspapers. "I must mplimcnt the Press." he added, "on the extensive pub- llclty pnd the excellence of the transcription: telling the public what LI going on."

Illm Attendnnod

There were only I few people attending the hearing as neither sourin nor Montague Boards of Trade filed. briefs or had repre- sentatives. Mr. William Hughes. M.L.A., sourls. was present but said he was there as an individual. He was just 3 member of the sourls Board and had no brief. Mr. Stewart remarked if you were re- presenting your District it would be different." Mr. Hughes replied, "It will be different when the time comes."

Mr. John A. MacDonald, Cardi- ilan nskcd it Mr Gaffney would take the stand for questioning. He had it few points he wished to make. The proposed change by the railweay would have more effect on rural areas nnd he was attempting to learn as much as possible of the pros and cons to use as 1 guide when the matter is presented to the Legislature next year. He had not spoken to representatives of either the railway or the bus com- D3ny- .

He asked for an outline of the demand from the people for this type service. Mr. Gsffney said they had received suggestions for a co- ordinated service and were present with 1 plan to satisfy that demand. He said it was not a. fact that the request was for co-ordination of existing services. Mr. MacDonald submitted that such service was what was meant. The witness than read from a brief filed in July i949 by the Joint Boards of Trade of this Province reommendlng a co- ordination of services by railway, highway and air.

Mr. Mucbonsld asked what as. surnnce people here would have that there would not be a steadily whittling awnyof traffic ultimately lcldlnl to the ions of the rails. He was told that the railway oper- ation was subject to the Board of Transport Commissioners and the bus service to the Public Utilities Board.

Question Of Appeals

on A question of appeal decisions of the Transport com. mlssloners Mr. MacDonald noted that an appeal had been taken by the railway from the successful application of this Province for a one who shipping urea instead of the two Prevailing. Mr. x.w.o. Mnobougnll, C.N.R. counsel, rose '0 W" h0W Ippec-is were taken and said they were held locally when possible to minimize the cost.

Mr. J. 0. C. Oampbell said he had taken part in the case in ques- tion and that while I decision was pending the whole question of transportation in Csnsdn yns under review by n. Royal Commission. While sppeuing before thnt Com- mission the matter-of zone ones who mentioned to it and the opin- ion was expressed that the Island request should be acceded to.
