197615 Church claims credit for patients transfer PENETANGUISHENE The Church of Scientology is claiming credit for the transfer of patient from the maximum security division of the Mental Health Centre inPenetan ishene But me ical director Dr Barry Boyd said today the transfer was routine Dr Boyd said Anthony Visconti 24 has been sent to the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital because he is no longer considered dangerous Last week the church asked the Supreme Court of Ontario to order the release of Mr Visconti and Henry Kowalski 24 No hearing has been ar ranged Scientolo ist Bob Dobson Smith sai he was very pleased about Mr Viscontis transfer to hospital nearer his Toronto home He said Penetanguishene officials did not want to face the Supreme Court over detention of Mr Visconti We only hope now that he obtains the kind of medical attention at Whitby he should have had in the first place Mr DobsonSmith said The Church of Scientology will pursue the case for Mr Kowalski Basically patients dont have enough knowledge of the recourses open to them or they dont have someone who will represent them Mr DobsonSmith said In February the church ar ranged hearings with the On tario Board of Review for the tw0 patients But the board ruled that each man suffered from mental disorder of nature of degree so as to require hos pitalization in the interest of his own safety or the safety of others Dr Boyd said Mr Viscon tis transfer had been in the mill and would have oc curred even if Mr Dobson Smith never existed Transfers of patients among Ontarios 13 psy chiatric hospitals are com mon Dr Boyd said He called the Church of Scientology just nut sance The ministry of health said earlier this year it is in vestigating the churchs in volvement in mental health cases Fire cuts power
