Alan Hay today. Speaking to the Prescott Chamber, of Commerce on Tuesday, January 21, Mr, Hay 5MMECAYLETTEA,, 0F CREPIT ON'THEIRJ FACE, WK 15 4 IOURED WIIEREVER TfrEY 60. Y BYAM PLUMBING &HEATING and AIR CONDITIONING TYRONE, ONTARIO e Phone 263-2650 -0 said "Hospital care costs a lot because there arc many people invohved in it." The lfargpe increases in salary won by nurses and other bospital workers ast year bas speeded cost increases, and the pro- blem is aggrava ted furtber, of course, when there is also overutiization of bospital beds and services. "I am sure that we alh may be able to tbink of, a person wbo las pressured is doctor to put him in bospital for tests or treatment because it was more convenient that way, or wbo bas pressurea is doctor to prescribe certain tests, treatment or drugs that be tbought migbt help," he said. "The end reisult înay bave been good for the patient, but we ai wonder if there was, in fact, a less costhy way of achieving the same end. "We must become more cost-conscious. As 'potential patients, we ail feel, uteî understandabhy, that miedical need sbould comne before cost conisideraqtion, and wve at OHA grewihyou. As business- men and women, bowever, we, must appreciate the import- ance of keeping, costs down wbile maintaîning a product of the required quality." Mr. Hay suggested that this is wbat -Provincial llealtb Minister Frank Miller is trying to do. "He is reminding people that, once tbey have entered the bealth system as patients, their attitudes, and demnands can affect bospital costs significantly.' 01*y'Cleaners Ckuc "Doctor, did you ever make a serlous mistake diagnosis?"

Another major way in which people can belp cut bospital costs, said Mr. Hay, is by adopting a beaithier way of life. "Millions of Canadians make little real effort to avoid being sick. Their if e styles show they are quite irrespon- sible about theïr heahth and fitness. There is a mass of. evidence that costs occurring as the result of physical inactivity, of promîscuity, of excessive eating, drinking, smoking and bad driving are staggering.' Mr. Hay con- luded tbat a change for the better in attitudes and bebav- iour pattern could do more to improve beahth than any recent advance in medicine.
