Ottawa Approves Island Mental Health Program

OTTAWA. Nov. 26 — (Special) — Ute of federal funds from the national health grants has been approved for extending Prince Edward Island's program for the prevention and treatment of men- tal illnesses, according to an an- tiouncemeht by lion, Paul Martin. minister of National Health and Welfare, announced here today.

Approved are plans to appoint n medical psychiatrist to organize and conduct an active treatment centre at the ‘Falconwood Hosp- ital, iand the organization of a ficld branch of the proposed provincial division of mental hygiene.

All the projects were suggested by the provincial Department of Health anti Welfare. M1". Martini said, and official notice of tile Federal Government's approval has already been forwarded to the Provincial Minister, Hon. A.W Mathesori.

The development of an active‘ treatment. centre under a trained psychiatrist at the present mental hospital is exipecicd to be of great benefit through tho introduction of the latest methods of treat- ment. for mental illnesses. Prev- iously services were limited by shortages of trained staff.

Travelling Mental Clinic i

Plans have also been approved for the development of a field branch for the proposed division of mental hygiene in the Provin- citll Department r.-f Health and Welfare. To be set up on the trav- elling clinic principle. its scrvleesl will be available for r-he treatmenti of mllil mental illnesses “svilirll can‘. be treated at heme. It will lac. staffed by n psychiatrist and cithcr a psychologist or social worker._

Federal funds have been ear-i marked for ‘

the salary of an in-t tome to assist the medical direct-l or of the present mental liospittilt in providing additional medical SGITICCS i0 the more than 1K0 pa- tlenis in cat-e.

Dental equipment. for tho hos- pital will be purchased this year; so that it will hot be necessary for patients to go illt0ycllfll'lbli€- town to obtain dental care.

Costs of all the projects are be- ing charged against. the $53,257 allotted to Prince Edward Island this year under the mental health grants of the national health plan.
