Health Minister Matthew Dy- | mond predicted recently that new psychiaric treatment tech- | niques. will greatly reduce the "demand for beds in Ontario's crowded mental hospitals. He drew a parallel between mental illness and tuberculosis, saying that 10 years ago TB sanatoria were crowded to the doors. Developments in the treatment of TB had made more beds available than there were patients, The same thing would happen in mental hospitals, he told the legislature, because of advances in psychiatric treatment plus the fact that increasing num- bers of mental patients were coming forward for help at 'Dr., Mrs. Dymond {June 18th for a month long | will visit and make studies of On Tour OF Europe Ontario Health Minister Dr, Matthew Dymond accompanied by Mrs. Dymond left Friday, | tour of various European coun- tries.

" Dr. Dymond said mental pa- tients are being treated suec- cessfully in out-patient depart- mens, menal clinics and doctors' offices. Length of stays in mental hos- pitals is becoming shorter he said. The same number of beds would be capable of serving a far greater population. "I can forsee the time when the present ratio of beds will be quite in excess of our needs," the health minister said. He also noted that the gov- ernment is in the process of transferring mental patients who need only nursing care out of Ontario mental hospitals and into homes for special care. ednitiinididisad ow .
