" To accomplish this program, 1$66 million will be made "available -extremely-large one involving "on-campus development, with 'allocated 52 Water St. OHSIP, Most Comprehensive "And Best Balanced In Canada The Ontario Plan will be the most Comprehensive and Best Balanced in Canada The Minister. of Health, Dr. MB, Dymond, announced further details for the Opt- ario Health Services Insurance Plan will start on October Ist, 1969. He stated that with © the insured health services and other benefits the Ontario program would be' the most comprehensive and best balanced in Canada. * Insured Health Services These services are based on experience of OMSIP and will include the following: (1)All physicians'services that are medically required. (2)Twenty-four specified ----dental-surgical--procedures|- in hospital. (3)Examinations of. the eyes by refraction when carried out by a physician or an optometrist. Health Resources Development The basic insured health services will be complemented by + a massive program of health resources development. These benefits are comple- mentary to insured health services as they are directed towards health manpower development and measures to improve the availability of health services and the quality Under this program, support will be provided for: (i) facilities for the educ- ation and training of health manpower, arrangements to obtain a better distribution of health personnel, demonstrations on alt- ernative - methods for (ii) (iii) will serve as focal points for regional development. Money will also be provided for the start-up equipment, required for research, education and service in these institutions. During this ten-year period, anew health sciences centre will be required and consider- ation is being given to. the location and developement of such a facility. (iii) Demonstrations on Alter- native Methods for the Deliv- ery of Health Care It has been said that the organization of health services has not kept pace with tech- nological advance. Money will be provided to set up demon- stration projects on alternat- ive methods for the delivery of health care. These demon- strations will be carefully tested to ensure that the most effective and economic meas- uresare available to the people of the Province. (iv) The Regional Planning and Development of Health Serv- ices The Ontario Council of Health has recommended the establishment of a regional system for health services. In southern Ontario, this system would be based on our health sciences centres and in north- ern Ontario there would be two regions with focal points at the Lakehead and Sudbury. Regional health councils will be established to ensure the orderly and planned develop- ment of essential health serv- ices in each region. Province- wide objectives will serve as guidelines, Financing of OHSIP* An actuarially sound prem: ium for OHSIP would be about $7.00- single, $14.00 for a couple and $17.50 for three or more persons. How- ever, the Province provides $40 million annually to assist subsidized persons and the federal government will be contributing towards the cost of physicians' services. This féderal contribution in the first full year. of operation is expected to be about $175 million. It will be used entirely to defray the cost of the part of the programme in which the federal government | 2 | shares. EA The premium will be held at its present level of $5.90, $11.80 and $14.75, and $65 million annually of these Proy- incial- funds will be used for Health Resources Develop- ment. While this premium structure remains the same for present OMSIP subscribers, in the great majority of other cases it will represent a sub- stantial saving as many prem- iums now are $3.00 to $4.50 per month more. It will be seen that all of the funds are being used for essential health services. The entire programme will be kept under close and care- ful study at all times, part- icularly during the develop- ment stages. PORT PERRY STAR -- Thursday, July 31,1969 --- 13 Summer School Underway In Oshawa Collegiates Summer' School is under- way at Eastdale Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Qshawa for 617 secondary school stud- ents. While most of these are students from the secondary schools in Ontario County, there are a few from schools in Northumberland and Dur- ham.

Pupils come from as far away as Trenton and Toronto. -- Although the "enrolment "| is"slightly 'more than that of last year, it is less than was anticipated, considering that it serves all the secondary schools in the county, rather than specifically those in Osh- awa, as was the case in 1968. The students attend two sessionsa d ith one period beginning io a.m. Period two begins*at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m. The prog- ram operates Monday through Friday, from July 2nd, to August 9th.
