B8 GeorgetownActon Wednesday Aug Few statistics about anorexia nervosa By BARB JOY Anorexia nervosa is an illness with seemingly few statistics attached to it At the regional level Dr Peter Cote Halton a medical of health offered an explanation He said Whatever cases are brought to our attention are hospital admissions But those figures t reliable because one patient might be admitted to three or four times while some are treated by family physicians and never admitted to hospital and so never reported Dr Andrew Wilson Psychiatrist at the Trafalgar Memorial Hospital said be t seen and anorexia nervosa pa tient for two years II seems to come in wares be said Two yean ago I saw three patients in tbe space of a year Then be added I think it getting more from tbe illness an estimate be thought quite According to Dr Garner the death rate is small less than two per cent Became tbe illness has such visible results with patient literally wasungaway most enter hospital where food intake is contolled and where they can once again develop a sense of trust with heir own Tbe director of a special anexona nervosa department at the Clarke Institute thought the ill ess was extremely common David Garner quoted a London England study sbowin one in every 100 upper class school girls suffered pwvrfirnA- a Most high school nurses see few nervosa victims leading one to conclude tbe front lutein thelllncaa Is the family which persuades the patient to see a family doctor Garner said a lot of research has been done pinpointing individual and sociological determinants as tbe cause of the illness He mentioned struggles for control a striving for worthwhueness and a genera loathing of tbe body as some motivating factors Said Dr Wilson overemphasis on slim which creates a horror of fat probably has something to do with it I suspect many factors are involved genetic makeup some biological change in the centre of the brain upbringing and family He found medication of little help in treating the illness Behaviour modification combined with oneonone therapy and Urge amounts of family support proved most effective Supreme Court ruling may save Halton The job of instilling that trust often falls on the shoulders of nurses They must deal with patients who step on scales with stones hidden underneath hospital gowns to show weight gam disconnect intravenous feeding apparati dump the fluid then reconnect wbo induce vomitung or give themselves enemas to keep weight down In a pamphlet containing hints for nurses dealing with anorectic patients Irene MSN on tbe staff of tbe

juvenile delinquents in group homes has been struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada In a decision on an appeal by Peel Region tbe court ruled Parliament was acting outside its authority when it approved that section of the Juvenile Delinquents Act For Region the decision could mean a savings of up to next year but for other agencies such as Children Aid Society the news could be bad The section requires a municipality to pay for the support of a juvenile delinquent in a group home when parents cannot do so municipality can collect its cost back from the parents at any point in the future In the judgement on the appeal by Peel Region the court ruled the section requiring the payment was outside the authority of Parliament to legislate on matters relating to criminal law or criminal procedure There is no direct link between the municipality to which a child belongs and the issue or the child s criminality wrote the ma of the panel bearing the case Ron Coupland executive director of the CAS told members of the Regions health and social services committee last week the decision could mean even more children coming into the care of his agency That has certainly been the case he said in areas where the municipalities haven been as generous as Provincial family court Judges under the Juvenile Delinquents Act have the authority to order a wide range of steps for the rehabilitation of children judged as delinquents one of which Is placing them in group homes Now that municipalities will no longer be required to pay a portion of that cost the entire daily fee for he care provided by the group homes will likely be paid by the Province said social services director Debbie Oakley think they 11 continue to flow the money through us but we be getting per cent of she said in a telephone interview Committee members decided Halton continue to pay for now tbe share it has been carrying for those juveniles who have already been coram from payments will be made as grants however rather than as a fee for service and only bat of each invoice will be paid The balance will have to be collected from the Ontario Ministry of Com munity and Social Services No payments will be made for any made after July the date of the Supreme Court judgement Dennis chief administrative officer of said the decision does create a problem for the Ministry however adding I be surprised if they just picked up the total cost Mr added the cleaner way for the Province to resolve the problem would be pass a section to Its new Young Offenders Act requiring municipalities to pay a portion of such costs Children whose parents can t bear a portion of the cost of group home service he added could also be made wards of the Children a Aid Society CAS Under that option he said the CAS would still approach the Region for increased support but those costs are SO per cent subsidised by the Province rather than only per cent which had been paid under the previous system think we eventually find ourselves put right back in the same door we just came through he added Beyond the specific question decided by the court in this case Mr areas where municipalities could be relieved of some of the costs imposed on them by the federal government One of these Is in the area of railway grade separations signals He explained that currently the Canadian Transport Commission divides those costs bet ween the railway provincial federal and local governments Now that the municipality may be excluded from that order the local share of the total coat may be divided through an agreement with the province Lung diseases affect 40 of farmers Canadian farmers respiratory diseases of hay silage and have a high incidence of related to the handling grains as well as animal LUMBER
