a from us Well As from such severe conditions As acute coronary insufficiency heart one of the reasons for these unnecessary deaths is that critically injured or ill patients Are taken to hospitals which Are not equipped to Deal with every major Highway entry into the City has a Hospital on it except the main approach from the Bruser what this Means is that such casualties coming in from the North Are taken directly to the health sciences which is Best equipped to Deal with those coming from the East usually go to Boni face which has All he facilities but those coming from the West and South Are taken to Grace Misericordia Hospital or Victoria where time is wasted before hey can be transferred to the health sciences Centre where hey would have been in the first construction of another hos Pital to which casualties com ing from the North will be taken almost add to these unnecessary Bruser he described the expected Cost of the Hospital As Fantas i to state that a Hospital which is supposed to be so Well planned As this one will Cost somewhere Between million and million shows a con tempt for the Public exchequer which Borders on the Ridick surely someone ought to have a better idea of what this Hospital will Cost than the 100bed acute care Sec Tion of the 200bed Hospital will require a full scale Labo a full scale xray de an intensive care area and full scale nursing some provision will have to be made for resident physicians of some the expense of All this must be awfully some of this person Nel and equipment to care for seriously ill patients May Only be called upon at Long inter and this is not a satisfactory Bruser added the White paper on health services by the provincial government stated that Winnipeg has More Hospital Beds in relation to

decreasing Hospital As it is a fact that Many hospitals Are forced from time to time to close entire wards because of nursing even with this temporary there has been no outcry that there Are insufficient Hospital Beds in the Winnipeg Bruser said the medical association has been asked to consider discussing with their Legal advisers the possibility of applying for an injunction to prevent the further planning and construction of such a vastly expensive institution until sufficient cause for the expenditure of funds and Effort is clearly asked tuesday to Sprague said the medical association heard from one doctor in particular but declined to identify the physician or to say if any Mma action was implying that it was Sprague said As Early As 1969 when plans got under the association had officially voiced its concern to the planners of seven Oaks Hospital that the unit May Well be too Small to be fully effective and viable and Many also be hard to staff we have not changed our minds at All and still question the need for this Hospital at this a North Winnipeg who had said last Winter that opposition to seven Oaks hos Pital was growing among a number of his said tuesday the movement came to nothing and he himself has Given up his activity As the administrator of the Hospital had contacted me and i have told him i would not go to his meetings for organizing a medical staff for seven Oaks because i would think that seeing i remain opposed to the the doctor i am still opposed to the but i will remain silent m that 1 wont come out under my name and say so
