and District Memorial Hospital said he suspects a large majority of the cases have come to the HAB in the last three to four years Doctors are be com more he said Mr added that many hospitals are now facing a Catch situation On the one hand you have cases in civil courts and malpractice suits saying that hospitals are responsible lor the quality and competence doc tors are ding he said At the same lime they have to ensure the safety of the community and to res pond to that But as hospitals try to respond to Ihe community are by appeals Mr said Justice Grange low famous for his Investigation Into the Hospital for Sick Children found a need to establish clearer guidelines granting doctors privileges hospitals Mr said Joshua said the original purpose of the in the early 1970s was to deal

suspensions for I incomplete charts and full revocations for other reasons Those figures may look horrcn dous on Ihe surface Peter Wood said But In tact they arc not Many of them would be technical restrictions The Public Hospitals Act dictates lhat physicians must submit com charts of a patient within hours of discharge Mr Wood said mosl hospitals wilt restrict a doc tor a privileges temporarily until his records are brought up to dale The number of physicians sub jected to restrictions for other reasons would be considerably lower he added Physicians privileges may be restricted
