Minister Makes Report

The Department of Health and welfare ls now the largest spend- jfig department tn the government. 1r; estimated expenditure ivr the coming your 0f 51539393 l‘ m0" than the estimates of Public Works end Education, the two other de- paflftlellll, excluding expend- iture on capital account, said Hon. Aw, Mathieson. newminlster c! y... department when he presented g review of its activities in the Legislature last week.

Against this expenditure there up revenue items totalling more than $900,000. They include Ottawa pcnslflfi. grants of almost $650,000 mid health taxes of some $000000- other revenue items listed vicre vital statistics, yalconwood Hospital Ind Infirmary. electrical inspection m,’ "l; e1 drugs and toxolds and pension refunds from. other prov- inces.

‘iir. Maiheson noted that when the department was organized as the Department of Public Welfare In ms. it was charred with the administration of the Public Health Act, the PE. Island Old ASE P911‘ sions Act, the Children's A“. U16 Vital Statistics Act. the Electrical Iavpection Act, Extra-Mural Tub- erculosis and Direct Relief Pal‘- menta. all Government Medical Services and the supervision of the Provincial Sanitarium.

Reviewing-the various branches of the department. he said that the vital Statistics branch, now housed in the Provincial-Denim- tum, is doing an exceptionall fine Job. In the plat. the registrat on of births was handled very ioozsly. This fact was known to the life insurance companies of the Domin- ion and to the departments of other provinces. Births were registered ea the affidavit of the applicant or some relation who in many cases did not know the exact date of birth. Early this year new regula- tions were put into effect and pub- lished in the Royal Gazette. They are stringent and will bring com- plaints, but in time they will re- sult. in providing accurate records. l-ie asked numbers to explain to their constituents the necessity of having proper records and also the future benefits which will .be de- rived from l. proper system of reg- isiratlon.

The minister notod the great increase in expenditure for running the Faiconwood Hospital and the Infirmary since 100 and cited some of the reasons for it. The number of patients at Falconwood has varied little since that time. The highest number was in m4 With 318 patients and the lowest in 1935 with 208. The number tllere at present is 200. But the daily "tress number of patients at the hiilrrnary has increased from 79 in 1m to more than 200 at the Present tkue. The expenditure on these items is now $235,000 and the estimate fornext year is $330,- loo compared to the $100,000 spent twenty-five years ago.

In the past year the price of tea has increased from 4.! cents to 63 tents a pound making a total in- crease of some e000 for the ap- proximately 4.000 lbs. o! tea used. There was an increase of $200 in the cost. of sugar. They used ap- Droxlmsteiy 200 bags and the price lumped from $7.60 to $8.50 per beg. Flour lumped 110m 03-47 to 84-50 Der bag or an increase of 0810.50 Iicr year on about 150 bags. Meat increased $1,300 due to a two cent zgdib. price increase on 66.000 lbs.

Milk Jumped from e400 to $5.00 P" cwt. for a total increase tn °°'i e! 8i.34i.,'f‘bey,uae approx- “iii-ell! 850 lbs. per day. There was In increase of $4.000 in dry goods Ind clothing and a jump of 03,011.26 sad. 21a loaves an used daily

and the price Jumped three cents during the year. There is an aver- age of 600 People to feed daily, tn- cluding the staff and the farmers.

The bulk of the expenditure for child and Family welfare is social assistance, direct relies and extra- mural treatment for T.B. cases. The direct relief has increased 100 per cent since 1943 when I was a member of the government before. Ml‘. Mathleson noted.

Mr. Mathleson had no report for the operations of the director of Child Welfare for the year but paid tribute to the fine work which Mr. Brawders is doing.

The grants to hospitals were in- creased to $102,000 last year as compared with 820,000 in 1946. paid Mr. Mathieson who noted that there is no greater increase in the whole department than the grants to these institutions. lie said he ‘niended to check on a rumor that the hos- pitals werc not giving the. same service today as they did, surrle years ago.

Dealing with the Slnitorium he said that during the year there were almost 4500 TB. examinations conducted in the Ban and by the mobile X-Ray unit. 40 patients were cured and able to leave for their own homes. - ,

Extra-muraily 100 persons were treated. These included fathers to- tally incapacitated and with small children, widows with children and individuals without homes. The treatment at horns cost the prov- ince approximately $30,000 per year. The sum of $30,000 has been placed in the estimates for the coming year. he noted.

In 1031 operating coats at the Sanitarium were 01.98 per patient. The cost last year was approxlm» ately $4.00. The cost of‘ medical supplies, fuel and labor have tn- creased about 100 per cent. One extreme instance cited was the jump in the cost of gauze from $1M to $8.50 per roll, .

Mr. Mathieson noted the record wlhlch has been established by the Sanitarium through the years as shown by the great reduction in the percentage of deaths from 12B. In 1031 there were 100 deaths per 100.000 of population in this prov- ince. In i046 the death rate was redacted i0 50 Del‘ 100.000 of pop- ulation, This means that ‘res per- sons who would otherwise be dead are now alive and well and able to do their own work.

This Province has made the beat progress on a percentage basis of any province in’ Canada in reduc- ing its death rate from T.B., said Mr. Mathesan, who pointed out. that the percentage reduction in the 25-year period 1921-1045 for this province was 68.2. The near- est to that percentage was Ontario with 64.3.

Bone T.B. cases have been treat- ed with excellent r “ . He cited one instance of a two-yoar-old child who was operated on and spent six months in a cast. As a result of the treatment received the child will grow up to be a useful citlaan. If no treatment had been givfll the child would have been a hunch- back and a criPPle for life.

He listed the number of X-rays taken during the year and paid tribute to the Mobile X~Ray unit for the vs large pert they, itad played in his most important contribution to the work regarding health in the province.

Patio Uilnlo

The Polio Ollnlc had cost $82000 reported the minister. who praised the splendid work that has been done there. of the as patients all but one have shown remarkable improvement and will be able to take their place in life because of the treatment they have received. The clinic has been under the din action of Dr. Acker and Dr. Bea- rnan with alias Bowler. one of the best physiotherapists in Canada.

The clinic has been tn operation for flfiAen months and the patients will be allowed to return to their homes this veer. Opinions have been -expressed _that this cllnlc is one of [the best examples in Canada of iprompt action in bringing relief for ' every case offered.
