Ruddy Hospital'a director of finance ia predlcting that the hospltal wll run up a deficit this year In excess of *20,000. Accordlng tW Rlck Codpe- a nUmber of fac- tors, includlng inflation, growlng denaand for hospital services, up- comlng contract negotiations and depreclation expenses on equlpment pur- chase, bave ail com- bined W create the an- ticlpated deficit whlch constitutes ap- praxlmately three per- cent of the hospltal's groasrevenues. Thse money from asat year's surplus cannot be used to offset tise deficit, sald Cooper because it nmust be set aside for future capital expen- ditures. Thse province, thse finance director ex- plained, does not finan- ce equlpment pur- Chase. The hospltal must now appeal to the Mlnlstry of Health for addltional fundlng and Cooper and' bis staff are preparlng for that appeal. If tise province does not corne up wlth tihe extra funda, bospital administrator Jlm Miller snid they wlll have to i pare everything to the bone. " If the hospital ta stili running at adeflclt after trlmming any excess, Miller sald service wll have tobeceut. Dr. J.O. Ruddy Hospital recelved a four percent inflationary In- crase in funding this year from the province in addition to whlcb thse mlnistry provides growth fundlng to hospitals such as Whlt- by's whlch are ex- perlencing an ln- creasing demand for service. Miller sald, isowever, that tise growth funding - la minimal and amounts to ittie more than- "a littie bonus." Last year tihe hiopital oniy recelved $13,800 in growtis fun- ding from the province. 'I1t's not like It is ln business where you can expect ta bave more money comlng in when business plcks up. In a hospital when it gets busier there's an added cost but no added revenue," sald Miller. This year tise haspital la hoping Wo recelve some $55000 ln growtls funding, according. to Cooper. Apart for tise gr.owing demand for Ruddy's services probably thse blggest factors con- trlbutlng Wo this year's deficit, in Mller's estimation, are equlp- ment depreclation costs and contract negotiations. This year wlll be- the first time that the hospltal has bad Wo negotiate contracta wlth thse Ontario Nurses Association and the Canadian Union of Publie Employees.
