And it was just announced last Thursday that Ontario hospitals will get a minimum threeâ€"perâ€"cent increase in their operating budget and a oneâ€"time payment _ of $558,000 to make up for SARSâ€"related costs and lost revenue. "We‘re certainly hoping to "We want to make sure our people are fairly comâ€" pensated and that we are doing the best possible job to recruit and retain our "It‘s not the ability to pay, it‘s just some hospitals are desperate and are pushing the market rates up and where not going to do that," said FEgan. "We‘re going to be a market follower not a marâ€" ket leader, while some of those same hospitals are the ones that are having multiâ€" million dollar deficits. And that‘s reflected in some of the recruiting pracâ€" tices going on in other cenâ€" tres, where they are offering monetary incentives to join their hospitals. If‘s a vicious cycle that is pushing some of those hospitals into multiâ€" million dollar deficits, someâ€" thing Egan said he doesn‘t want to see happen at Grand "Our practice and policy at Grand River is to pay peoâ€" ple at the 50th percentile of our peer group... and one of the issues is that the marketâ€" place is rapidly moving out there. That policy works in a more stable environment and grows harder as hospitals are competing for a limited number of physicians no matter what group it is." And some of that means keeping staffing costs in line with other community hospiâ€" tals of its size. Grand River Hospital can‘t afford to pay what some hospitals in Toronto, Hamilton or Lbndon are paying for specialists. "There‘s a shortage of physicians pure and simple," said Egan about the growing doctor shortage. "There‘s a marketplace out there now thatâ€"was significantly differâ€" ent than four or five years "That‘s just to bring us up to provincial averages in those programs," said Egan about some of the funding pressures. "And our board is going to push the governâ€" ment hard on that, and more is going to be needed as those projects come on line. _ "Then our responsibility is making sure the money we get is used effectively." But Egan said the hospiâ€" tal‘s strategy continues to be making sure what services the hospital does are done costâ€"effectively. The expanâ€" sionâ€"of services, like renalâ€" dialysis, cancer care and the new birthing unit is where the cost pressures are coming "After that allocation there may need to be more, and he‘s calling the federal govâ€" ernment to step to the table get more than the minimum because this is one of the fastest growing communities in the province, and all these new programs and services are coming on/‘line," said Egan about the $620 million added to the hospital‘s pot by the provincial government. "We certainly hope to get our fair share of that pot, and we‘re pleased to see that the premier (Ernie Eves) recogâ€" nizes a need he‘s going to have to look at.
