Holy Redeemer Scouts, Cubs

Hold Father And Son Banquet

The annual father and son banquet for the\Holy Redeemer Scouts and Cubs was held last night at the Community Centre, with an attendance of over 250.

Guests included R.C. Parent, Provincial Boy Scout Commis- sioner; Rev. Father. Swift, re- presenting the parish clergy: and Wilfred Duffy, chairman of the local group committee.

Similar privileges were grant- | ed Ontario's 38 co-operatives re- specting additional coverages, he added.

Labor's reaction to the On‘ario plan was generally favorable, Dr. Taylor reported. Most unions de- voted the premium savings to purchasing added medical protec- tion, life insuramce and other similar benefits, he said.

Replying to the third question asked by Mr. Acorn, the Ontario expert stated that the federal regulations required participating provinces to pay in full the op-| erating costs of the participating hosp°tals. ;

receiving government social as- sistance such as mother’s al- lowances, old age assistance, blind pensions, etc.: those on re- gular municipal relief rolls; and those normally self-supporting who did not come to the Com. mission’s attention “until they landed in hospital."

In the case of the first group, the Commission issued a hos- pital services certificate entit- ling each to the free care pro- vided, and the Provincial govern- ment reimbursed the Commis- sion for the cost incurred.

As to the second group, each municipality formed what might be termed “an employee group” and insured them, thus assuring them of the federal-provincial protection.

MUNICIPALITIES PAY

Asked by Dr. Bonnell if any! Province had given consideration to permitting the hospitals to keep | one quarter of these extra pay- ments and devote the remainder to some ferm of equalization grant to. assist hospitals having

Dr. Taylor stated he could not recall a similiar sugcestion hav- [

| ing been made, but expressed the |

epinion: that it was ‘extremely worth while.”

Costs of additional hospital construction, depreciation charg- es and interest on capital debt could be met easily in the’ Pro vince of Ontario, where fund-rais- ing campaigns had aditional sup- port from the many corporation head offices located there, the guest expert observed.

In Canada, calculations of pa- tient-<lay costs varied between $18 and $24 dollars, Dr. Taylor noted.

CONTROL NOT SOUGHT

In general, it was no the in- tention of Hospital Commissions to take over control of a Pro- vince’s hospitals, Dr. Taylor informed Mr. Myers. True, the Commissnon set the rates each hospital must charge but other than that ‘Control was left large- ly in the hands of the individual owners.

The ratio of registered aurses to nurses aides was also’ la‘d down by the Commissions, Dr. Taylor observed, but that did not prevent hospitals from ad- ding more R.N.’s if they wished, providing they were willing to assume the additional salary payments.

“Improved quality of hospital

care. . . within reason” was the —T interest of both groups, he said. He also informed Mr. Myers that unnecessary private duty nursing was not covered’ by the plan. Ip this connection Dr. Bon- nell pointed out that in wards with perhaps two very sick pati- ents an extra nurse might be added with no extra charge to any patient.
