English, President of the Board of Governors. re- emphasized the need tor immediate action to remedy a willed: situation. He pointed out that during 1952 and 1951 the hospital had admitted to its 54 beds. more than twice the number of patients handled by the average hospital of incomparable an in Ontario. Mr. English attributed the remarkable volume a! service to the vast unsatisfied demand for hospital service of the rapidly growing suburban municipalities. Humber Memorial Hospital is closer to 100,000 residents of Metropolitan Toronto than any other hospital now in operation, and for the last two years the hospital has had to curtail admitting privileges to its existing staff and defer the extension of admitting privileges to new physicians commencing practice in the area served by the hospital. During this period the hospital‘s corridors have been exxsung stan and defer the extension of admitting privileges to; new physicians commencing practice in the area served by uni hospital. During this period the hospital‘s corridors have been} filled with beds, and the patient stay shortened far below avenge; "; Most patients were discharged after;, four or five days at the mootwl frequently sooner than the attending- physician and hospital ot:. L! fkials desire. At the same time, many cases have been refused“ admission and treated at home, or transferred to downtown hou- i pitals if beds are available there. d 3N6“ COPIES - CD!" eston lawn .' owling Club n 6lst Y9“ ' C, mu an: In .DI. “a 1 Under have-unth- s!
