HOSPITAL BOARD

Limits on abortions

KAMLOOPS (CP) — The loca} hospital board, at
loggerheads with doctors ove abortions, plans to place more
limits on whether abortions are performed at Royal Inland
Hospital.

Hospital director Joe Bierman said Tuesday he has
issued a notice of a motion that would tighten the language
in the hospital's abortion guidelines and require more
aceountability to the board by the ic abortion

It would also have to be established that abortion is the
best possible treatment for the mother's “condition.”

The Criminal Code says an abortion is permitted whena
therapeutic abortion committee has ruled the continued

pregnancy would endanger the life or health of the mother.
A provincial government report earlier this year said
although British Columbia leads the country in the number

He said the motion, to be considered by the board at
a public meeting Thursday, is similar to one carried at
Vernon Jubilee Hospital last year. When the Vernon motion

|, doctors in that Okanagan Valley city promptly
withdrew from board committees and now send their
patients elsewhere for abortions.

Board chairman Sandy Mallory said Tuesday he expects
the motion will pass-.

‘The 14-member board, which now has 10 members who
oppose abortions, restructured the hospital's therapeutic
abortion committee three months ago, making it more
difficult fo obtain abortions.

Mallory agreed the move would increase tension
between the board and the hospital's doctors, who last week
passed a vote of non-confidence in the board.

The hospital's medical staff also asked Health Minister
Peter Dueck to replace the board with a public trustee,
something Dueck said he would not do.

“The ministry has sustained us,” Mallory said. “Why

FATHER ANGRY

Meanwhile, the father of a 14-year-old girl denied an
abortion at Royal Inland has helped her get scheduled for an
abortion in a Vancouver hospital by the end of this week.

“It's madd .” said the d 38-year-old, who
asked not to be named to protect his daughter's identity. “I
just don’t think it’s fair — I feel like we're being used by the
pro-lifers.”

His daughter, now 14 weeks pregnant, was refused an
abortion by the Royal Inland abortion committee last week
after the family, which lives in a northern town near Dawson
Creek, agreed immediately that the girl should have her
pregnancy terminated.

“She's only 14,” he said. “At that age there's more risk
going through with the pregnancy.”

The family doctor referred the girl to Dr. David
Gilmore, a Dawson Creek general practitioner who support-
ed the decision to get an abortion and referred them to a
Kamloops gynecologist. Gilmore said he was surprised her
application was rejected.

“It. should have been routine,” he said.

Royal Inland board member Genevieve Ringer said the
committee makes its decisions based on medical judgment

and “it makes no difference how old the person is.”
