This study was then sub- mitted ta the Ontario Ministry of, Heaith for review and camments. Foliowing this review, a revised proposai was. sent ta the management board of the provincial cabinet for appravai. . Me esult of the study is a shared laboratory services program, which Mm. Patil says will eliminate unnecessary expansion and facility duplication. The service is also expected ta educe operatiag costs ta, the Ministry of Health by approximately $30,000. ,Other impravements ex- pected include better utiliza- tion of staff and equipment, reduction of capital expendi- ture for equipment, improve- ment in the quality of laboratory service, and the sharing of iaboratory expertise, says Mr. Patil. Another advantage wil be easiem accessibility ta new technology, a feat flot possible in 1 individual hospitals, he says.' Using the success of shared laboratory services as a springboard, the two hospitals are iooking into other areas where ca-aperation wiii be beneficial ta patients and the community.
