IN THE LEGISLATURE Hospital Problems Are & Dealt With By Member & By T. D. THOMAS, MPP When the estimates of the de- partment of health were present- ed by the minister, Dr. N. B. Dymond, on Tuesday afternoon, the administration of the Hospi- tal Commission was given a great deal of attention. The number of participants in the plan is now more than 5,000,000. The premier said the number enrolled had greatly exceeded the expectation of the government. Why he should be surprised is beyond my com- prehension, for we in the CCF, advocates of such a plan, had mentioned on many occasions, over the years, the great need for such a plan. While basically the plan is sound, there are some inclusions which must be considered immediately For the year ending Decem- ber, 1959, it is estimated the plan . will cost $236.9 million, account- ed for in this way, provincial would need, 1 stated this was a very serious announcement, for if a peron after. being confined to hospital for two or three months, was confined on doctor's orders to a nursing or convalescent home, then they had to meet the costs, themselves. While the number of persons tion is not large, nevertheless it does mean those persons afflict- ed with an incurable ailment, are denied assistance wher they need it most. My request for further consideration of this problem, was for the following reasons. when sick benefits are drawing to a close, it might be difficult for a person to pay for attention in a nursing home, and facili- {ties for such attention would cer-| |tainly be lacking in the home. I| {believe the premier was concern: ed with this problem, and will confined to hospital for long dura-| After a lengthy stay in hospital | day will come, and in our time, when the medical association will step in and co-operatively help to plan a complete dental, med- ical and hospital plan available to all, for what is good for the people of Ontario, for Canada, is {good for all. |PROVINCIAL PARK When the minister of lands and forests, Hon. W. J, Spooner, pre- sented the estimates for his de- partment, I asked him what was the program for the provincial park just over the, border of the | Darlington.
