approved the hospitals 197778 budget It outlines expenSes of $141 million and revenue of $139 million Salaries and wages account for $106 million of the ex penses Ministry of health funding provides the bulk of the revenue $126 million The bulk of revenue $126 million is to be provided by the ministry of health Administrator Cameron explained that the budget is for 15 months in order to comply with ministry directive that hospitals be on the same fiscal year as the provincial government by March 31 1978 Chairman of the board Jack Forster said the deficit budget provided for the worst situation He noted that the hospital had budgeted for deficit of $298205 in 1976 but through restraint and strict control of finances had actually ended up with surplus of $64685 If we do have deficit
