OTTAWA, June 11-Expsnsion

-of Prince Edward Island health

services was recommended today in a report tabled in the Com- mons by Health Minister Martin.

The report. one of a series be- ing financed by the Federal Gov-

ernment, suggested that volun- b

tary prepaid hospital plans he

continued and extended to pro- sc

vide for preventive medicine as

well as curative treatment, and Lib

for diagnostic consultation ser- vices at a minimum flat fee. it also urged that the Government pay the premiums of needy per- sons to bring them into the plan and that the medical profession participate in the administration.

Slrssllar reports already have been tabled in the Commons has- ed on surveys in New Brunswick. Nova Scotia, Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The P. E. I. report recommend- ed'that the Provincial Health De- partment be reorganized and ex- panded using health grants to correlate the work. It suggested the Job of deputy minister of health and welfare be split and that deputy ministers of health and of welfare be appointed.

The job of the deputy minister of health and welfare is "too great for one official in this position." the report said. The new deputy ministers also should be relieved of "certain non-tech- silcal routine procedures in order that their respective branches of health and welfare may receive full advantage of their training and abilities."

In expanding thehealth branch.

Text Of Proposals For PEI Medical Insurance

Sabre lei To

Following is the full text of the recommendations of the Provincial Planning Commission for medical insurance in this Province as tabled at Ottawa yesterday:

"As was stated in the introduc- tion to this report, consideration was given by this Commission to the problem, of hospital and med- ical care insurance". "In their"?-rim liboratlons there was concensus concerning important fundament- als. All were agreed that medical service should eventuellyprovide everything that science-ban oi! WWIN ill! reaervetlo .,.ot.-hails andtlie got tlibeag, tad" that these benents should be made av- ailable to the entire poulatioii. There was debate, however, as to the method by which this situa- tion should be brought about with the alternatives revolving about the basic questions of free initi- ative versus government planning.

"The participation oi government in medical services has taken place during a period when there has been a heightened ubilc interest and I. ,ronounced increase in pub- lic demand for an improved or- ganisatlon of medical service which will provide more eiillciently a higher quality of medical care.

"As medical science has demon- strated its power to prevent, to control and to cure diseases, pub- lic confidence in the medical pro- fesslon has grown. At the same time. new diagnostic and curative procedures and the scientific in- strumente. technologies and spec- ialties that have given medicine its new power, have increased the costs of medical care and have complicated the distribution oi medical services.

Increasing Medical Costs

"While an ever larger portion of the population is insistent on its right to share in the advances oi medicine that make longer and healthier lives possible, medicine of high quality, because of its cost, has become increasingly be- yond the reach oi lower income groups. Depletion oi the supply oi well-trained physicians in rural areas has deprived the inhabitants in these areas oi full participa- tion in the recent advances oi medical science. The problem oi
