SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday November Letter to the editor Hospital administrator Fred Morris supports municipal complex plan To editor of The Herald Congratulations to Finn for his letter setting out the facts and reasons for the action taken by the Town of Hilts Council in the matter of purchasing the lands associated with the Stevens Estate What is perhaps not well understood about he hospitals position Is that Now that the Town of Hills has an official plan the hospi tal has been able to complete Its long term planning The hospitals long term plan the anticipated needs in providing a continuum of health care for the community over the next twenty- five years Over one million dollars has been committed to provide adequate water mains sewers roads electri city emergency power and a Heliport to pro perly serve the hospi tals expansion The planning Is for the whole community of Halton Hills not Just Georgetown Surplus hospital land has been Identified and established through this planning process The purpose of develop ing the surplus land Is specifically to offset the costs of the more than fivemillion dollars required and committed to the building of the Nursing Home The need for a facility to care for the elderly citizens of this commu nity has been firmly established and indeed Is long overdue being provided by government to build the nursing home nor for the Improvements to the hospital site in order to accommodate the new building How It to be paid for Mortgage financing has to be arranged and amortized as a long term debt Nursing home care is an insured program under the provinces health insurance plan there fore by having obtain an authorized licence to provide a specific number of beds a per diem cost per patient will be paid to the nursing home on behalf of each patient occupy ing a bed Out of this revenue wages over head and debt servic ing will be paid However fortyseven licenced nursing home beds will not pro vide adequate revenue to support the cost An additional thirty 30 self care units are being built at the same time By Identification of surplus land two things can be accomplished a offset the capital costs to some extent by the sole of these sur plus lands and ensure a second access road to the enlarged hospital complex through support of the towns development eel that the public debate in this matter Is so negative that it Is becoming destructive and divisive so lets put the cards on the tabic and have some plain talk Both the town and the hospital are two of the largest employers in this community From the hospitals point of view we employ a good many people from Acton and will probably employ mare when the nursing home opens Approxi mately sixty new jobs ore being created The hospital deplores he negative comments and debate that goes on concerning the Interests of Acton and George town With respect to the businessmen and women of the communi ty surely the ramifi cations of job creation and some well planned expansion is not lost on you Does it much matter where he expansion begins Surely the predominant rationale should be the best Interests of the community With to those citizens signing petiti ons perhaps the follow ing items should be considered An outside consult ants report clearly establishes that town employees do not have an appropriate environ merit In which to work the reorgani zation of the towns activities would yield efficient and therefore lower cost admin Is tra tion Thirdly as explained above the development Is critical to the has expansion and to the provision of services to our elderly citizens It would also appear obvious from he of all the facts that the development la necessary for he function of the town It would appear that the approach being token by council Is the most efficient way that future development can be accomplished I am very strongly convinced that the two projects the nursing home and the municipal centre are critical in the future development and direction of this community Furthermore if the projects could go for ward without capital deqt the overall cost to the community would be minimized substantial To achieve debt free funding will require a broad based sustained campaign In he community I would be more than pleased to meet with represents of the various to help struc ture a campaign strate gy 1 also personally pledge to each of he two projects to get the campaign started Perhaps I could urge those circulating petiti ons to make a similar contribution and put their efforts to fund- raising rather than critl
