“In a series of interviews with officials in all three counties it was found that, generally speaking, some hospitals had a noticable increase in admis- sions and discharges but also a much shorter patient day stay in hospital. “Other hospitals did nof notice any appreciable difference since the hospital plan came into ef- fect compared to the same per- fod last year.
pany standpoint, no one con- tacted appeared to be violently opposed to having the govern- ment take Phe basic ward rate structure off their backs.
“One spokesman for a nation- al group insurance sales plan commended the introduction of hospital insurance for having made people “more conscious of improved hospital insurance ac- commodation.”
“The manager of one of the province’s, largest private in- surance companies stated that they were increasing insurance plan coverages to include pri- vate room rates and cover pa- tients’ loss of income while in hospital,”’ the minister said.
The next question posed was what effect the hospital insurance plan had on the individual hos- pitals from a financial stand- point?
Some reported deficits, placing the blame on uncollectable ac- counts owed by uninsured persoas but, as one official stated, ‘‘if the hospitals can not operate on a business basis and collect their
capable of paying them, they should turn to community sun- port as was always the case in
the past.”
COMMISSION STATEMENT
In view of the fact that some misunderstanding may still exist regarding the relation of the hos- pital imsurance ‘plan to the general hospitals throughout the province, the following statement was requested from the Hospital Ser@ices Commission and re- leased last evening by the chair- man Dr. L.E. Prowse: “According to the agreement signed between the federal and provincial governments, the fed- eral government will share in payment for the actual cost of hospital care provided to per- sons insured under the plan. This does not allow hospitals to

the current expenditures of hos- pital operation. It should be not- ed that hospitals have always been one of three months in ar- rears in the’ collection of ac- counts. The hospital insurance plan is designed to pay hospital costs for insured persons with- in 30-60 days of the incurring of the account, so providing more prompt payment than was for- merly the case.
“Payments to hospitals are bas- ed on an annual budget submit- sted by the board of trustees of each hospital and approved by the Hospital Services Commis- sion. This budget is established on the basis of expected utilizat- jon of the hospital, and where a greater number of patient days of care is provided, the com- mission makes an adjustment ‘o compensate.
“It is fully realized that any hospital may incur additional ex- traordinary expenditures which could not be foreseen at the time the original budget was submitted. Where this occurs, the commission has agreed to support the additional costs where such expenditures can be justi-
