"The Ministry has always recognized that Ontario's decentralized approach to local health service planning would be subject to a system- atic review at some point in time," said Mr. Timbrell. "This view is shared by DHCs and by the health care organizations with whom they work on a regular and continuing basis. "DHCs are now suffic- iently mature to benefit from a review of their operations, which will help to ensure councils' continued effec- tiveness as-local health care planning advisors," he added. The steering committee will oversee the work of independent consultants who will conduct the review. The review will trace a limited number of local planning -issues through the decision- making process. The 10-member develop- ment assessment steering committee, chaired by Dr. Last, includes represent- atives of district health councils, the Ontario Council of Health, the Ontario Hospital Association, the Ontario Medical Association, the Ontario Public Health Association, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario and the Ministry of Health. SMITH-CORONA TYPEWRITERS Manual or Electric "PORT PERRY STAR i 235 Queen Street 985-7383 . STU C HLS IS UE yl , ' ARTHRITIS 48% SOCIETY Farmers to get milk price hike Ontario dairy farmers are toreceive a price increase of $2.00 per hectolitre, (2 cents per litre) for the milk they produce for table use, effec- tive November 1, 1981. This represents a 4.8 per cent increase over the present price which was established in February 1981. In announcing the in- crease, the Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, Kenneth G. McKinnon said that the Board sets the price to its producers using an economic formula as a guideline. "The base price of this formula," he said, 'is based on actual cost of production data obtained from a. random sample of Ontario farms."" Mr. McKinnon noted that, "while milk producers have been affected by significantly: higher costs, by updating the formula base to include actual on-farm costs of production for 1979, the producer increase required - to bring the fluid milk price in line at this time is consi- derably less than using the old formula base which includes 1977 and 1978 cost of production data. This occur-* rence reflects efficiency and productivity gains on Ontario dairy - farms," he said, "that now are being passed on to the consumer". In giving some examples of specific cost increases which have occurred during the first six months of 1981 alone, Mr, McKinnon indi- cated, "equipment operation and maintenance costs were up 13 per cent; building repairs were up 8 per cent; fertilizer up 10 per cent; and seed costs increased 11 per cent. Further increases for equipment operation and maintenance costs and build- costs of 6 per cent and 3 per cent respectively, are conservatively estimated to occur by the end of September as well. These specific cost increases, combined with staggering " interest rates and increasing energy costs, are adding substantially to the cost of producing milk." The Ontario Milk Market- ing Board only has the authority to establish prices ~ to producers and processors. The amount of the increase at the retail outlets is dependent on the forces of competition. "For this reason," Mr. McKinnon concluded, ' "we do not know what the final consumer price increase will be. " The 2 cent per litre in- crease raises the farm price for raw milk in Southern Ontario from 41.86 cent per litre to 43.86 cent per litre and in Northern Ontario from 43.15 cent to 45.15 cent per litre.
