To maintain the present standard, 1,800 new doctors are required each year. Only 850 are produced by the country's 12 medical schools, Immi- gration, largely from the United Kingdom, The need is urgent for more med- ical research funds. The Sun em. phasizes that there can be no excuse that specific needs are unknown, The federal government has had in its hands since January the Gundy report, a privately-financed study of Canadian medical research re- quirements, It apelis out the irrefutable equa- tion that Canada can only get more doctors by expanding its medical schools; the schools can't expand unless, they find more teachers; teachers can be attracted only to schools that offer research possi- Of Doctors bilities, Otherwise--as almost one- quarter of our top graduates da now --~ the brightest will scoot be- low the border where lavish re- search grants are waiting. Ottawa's creation last week of a $500 million fund for medical facili- ties was certainly needed, but it is intended only to keep up with need- ed hospital construction over the next 16 years, It will not pay any part of medical schools' operating expenses or teachers' salaries, At present there is only #25 mil- lion available in all Canada for med- ical research---$15 million of it sup- plied by Ottawa, The Gundy study points out that if we are to maintain our present standard of medical care, the federal share will have to rise to $80 million annually within five years, With national medicare on the way, we will have to double by 1970 our present total of 1,072 teacher acientists, Putting additional tax money into research, The Sun points out, is simply an investment in our own health, Otherwise we will have to atep up the self-defeating game of musical chairs, with doctors being highjacked from Britain while our own freshly-minted grads leave for the beckoning labs of the U.S, Car Safety In Europe We may think we have head- aches on this continent in seeking ways to impose uniform automobile and highway safety standards, Cer- tainly it is taking us long enough to reconcile the conflicting interests of manufacturers and states and prov- inees enjoying jurisdictional privil- eges, But, asks The Charlottetown Guardian, what of Purope, where they really have a mess, and where they are making progress in doing something about it?
