Ontario's Minister of Health recently announced that increased funding for mental health services were included in the Ministry's planning schedule for 1983. Presently, the Ontario Governnient operates ten psychiatrie hospitals and funds sixty-five psychia- trie units in general hospitals throughout the pro- vince. Current mental health care spending *ex- ceeds $300 million per year and the Ontario Govern- ment plans to. increase this allotment to provide significant improvements to the existing system. Mental Héalth Issues: *'Shortage of backup programs for ex-psychiatrie patients *Additional community support services are required * Discharged patients must be provided with the skifls needed to live and work in the community e Ex-patients often face a community which is both fearful and hostile e -No one government nisfitry is presently respon- sible for supportive programs for discharged psychiatrie patients. Additional Funding For Community Support Pro- grains: Spending in community health services lias lncreased by more than 50 per cent during the past three years and funds will continue to be allocated for lncreased communlty support.

Thfe Mlnlstry of Health wll as sume the role of lead min'stry for ail matters relatlng to aduit men- tal health. This minlstry will co-rdinate services for which it does flot bave direct responsibility Wo ensure that patients' non-medical needs are brouglit Wo the attention of appropriate ministries, agencies or governments.
