K. Creighton, M.P.P., Speaks re Hospitals The following is the text of a time- ly and informative address delivered million-or about® by T. K. Creighton, M.P.P,, in the On- tario Provincial IL#&gislature recently: the House on the mdtter of the budget I wish to assure you Sir and the Hon- ourable, Members that I propose to speak only briefly and on one subject. Before getting into my subject matter however, I wish to tender the Govern- ment and particularly the Provincial I'reasurer my sincere conipliments on the splendid review and forecast of: 'Provincial finances, contained in the budget address. It was 're-assuring to hear the confident tone of the whole matter and this in, spite of misgivings which some, both inside and outside of the House, had attempted to create and in spite of the obvious determina- tion of the Dominion Government to continue to depend heavily upon taxa- tion fields formerly enjoyed substan- tially or solely. by the Province. : I was particularly interested in one rather short section of the budget ad- dress; this was the portion indicating the Government has found the oppor- ont a much more generous basis than before. I would like to commend the Minister of 'Health for what I believe to be a sound and well devised plan to assist these very important institu- tions both on income and capital ac- counts, It ig very encouraging to find the Province taking a greater share of the responsibility of these important public services and I am going to ask the indulgence of the House while I draw. attention of the Members of the 'House to a few facts which I consider they should have clearly before them about © hospitals. 1 hope I may also draw ths Minister's attention to the necessity" for certain further adjust- ments' in his plan in order that im- partial justice be done to certain com- The over-all cost of hospitalization in Ontario is a very large figure and is growing very Fapidly. . "The last e Department of Health is for the year ending Dec. 81, total cost of operating public hospitals in Ontario was in excss of twenty-two million dollars. When I say operating, I méan 'that the figure excludes every- thing except the actual running ex- penses of these institutions for one year; it does not include any depre- ciation, any capital charges of any kind, any intersst on debt or even any allowance for bad debts. This cost is spread over a total in 1945 of 118 hos- pitals. with a total bed capacity :of nearly 16,000 beds, over half of these, 7,600 beds in the five large cities-- about one third of it is in the city of Toronto." i : Hospital demand is increasing very rapidly. This is for reasons which I will not 'specially 'analyze here but these might be mentioned. First the 'advances and refinements of medical science which require the service of a modern hospital for treatment; second- 'ly the greater and increasing depend- ence by the profession on hospital equipment and staff. Physicians are very busy men and have found that they can treat more patients and treat them' more efficiently in hospitals; encouraged by the lack of housing ac- commodation and domestic help and by certain higher living, standards; four- thly and this is an important item, plans for Jrapaid hospital care, This takes various forms and they are _ in my own ooh pital reports that 40% 'of all ad- v issions . are coyered by some pla roviding paynfents by some one fsmall © "Wt [other than the patient. - The effect of idly extending; at the present time Tar City: of Oshawa' our local these schemes of course, is clearly to 'increase ie use of hospital services nsiderably, hf ee 1045 the general hospitals of this Provinée treated, including new born infants, a. total of 488, pat- jents or well over ons in ten of the patient days amounted to almost five one-and-one-quarter days for every man, woman and child in the Province. In some localities the rate is much higher. In my own City our local hospital treated in 1946 about one person in six of the popula- tion of the area served. I said there 118 'hospitals. A rough check shows that, allowing for more than one in certain Municipalities there are 90 Municipalities © with public hospitals. There is in Ontario a total of 331 in- corporated Urban Municipalities in- cluding incorporated villages; there ard 170 cities and towns alone, Without more elaborate analysis the figures I have given will show, and further examination will confirm that hospitalization tends to concentrate in central communities. In order that the wide rural areas and more ramote sections of the Province may have ade- quate services it is essential that new and smaller hospitalg be developed and encouraged, The effect of failure to do this is felt in a number of ways. In the first place there is great inconven- ience in travelling long distances 'to obtain hospital treatment; secondly, there is a real hazard to life due to absence of facilities in certain areas; thirdly lack of hospital services tends to create lack of medical practitioners because doctors will not establish themselves where hospital services are not available; fourthly it results in the over-crowding of 'the more central in- stitutions; fifthly, it is uneconomical, not only because of the extra cost of travelling greater 'distances, but also the heavier cost of hospitalization in the -larger centres. The 1945 report shows the following scale of casts of the different classes of public: hos- pitals. What is known as The Teach- ing Hospitals -- connected with Uni- vertisies--have a cost of $5.61 per patient daily, the remaining Toronto hospitals have a cost of $5.34 per patient day; the average cost of all other Ontario hospitals, over 100 beds capacity is $4.70 per day, whereas the average cost of all other hospitals un- 8 100 bed capacity is only $4.16 per ay. - : ; Now there are different ways of or- ganizing a new hospital. One is for the communtiy to procure by some means the necessary money and to buy the necessary material and SqupIent and to build,and equip a brand new in- stitution. . This is a very difficult un- dertaking for most smaller. centres; hospital building. costs - are high, especially high just now. The Bio -Member for Fort William recently used the figure of eight thousand dollars per bed. I think that is quite excessive; I have heard figures quoted from two to five thou- sand obars r bed." I believe that the Sick Childrens' Hospital when or- ganizing its. campaign a couple of years ago indicated an estimated cost f about five thousand dollars per bed or the entire institution. I do not be- liave any standard rule can be adopted, it depends on whether you speak of an entirely new hospital or an addition to a hospital already existing and how much expense is required for auxiliary services or plant or administrative offices, but we have enough informa- tion to show that to build a new mod- ern-unit with the integration of. ser- vices' required," bed capacity, admini- strative offices, laboratories, residen- tial accommodation Yor staff, etc, a very gerat deal of money is needed. [One hundred thousand dollars is not a very big sum for such purpose. X-ray and operating-room equipment and the volume of furniture and fittings re- quired are expensive. qos : is great and is Incressin 3 the load is a heavy one especially or e need aller communities, so if there is to be more hospital geconmodation. more widely diffused through the coun the Government of the Province have to be sympathetic to the problem and give whatever assistance is pos- sible; particularly, there may have to be some complomise about the char- acter and the a modation Jrovided in such matters 'does not of necessity mean having conipletely modern plant and equipment, it may mean making the best possible use of what is avail- able, So far I have been speaking entirely of public hospitals licensed under the Public Hospitals Act. These institu- tions are now. entirely to share in the generosity of the Province in these new grants---the extent of this gener- osity can be estimated at least by re- ference to 'the public accounts and estimates, . The most recent public] March 31st, 1946 indicate grants to public 'hospitals in the total of just over six hundred thousand dollars, In the estimates before us for the next fiscal year the indicated grants, which are of course, purely on maintenance account, are two million two hundred thousand dollars," or well over. three times as much. These are to be.com- puted .on a new basis and I under- stand all public hospitals will share on meh the same pro rata basis as be- ore. vices. ceed one thousand dollars per bed for new accommodation provided.

There were 57 in the Province in 1945, some operated for profit, some on a community basis without any expectation of profit and probably at considerable actual per- sonal loss to some one in many eases-- a loss made up in some cases by the community served. Sixteen of these are in relatively small local commun-- ities and have a capacity of from '10, to 30 beds and provide in these commun- ities the only local hospital service. They are all equipped it appears for cases and most of them for surgical cases. Some of these were begun b doctors in connection with their own by a local community organization or sursing home.
