Hospital fees increase

. By CasNews Staff

It will now cost you more
to stay. in hospital. Effective

The largest increase is for
semi-private and private
rooms, which went up by 500
per cent.

A semi-private room used
to be $2.60‘a day plus the
base cost of $6.60 a day, fora
total of $9 a day. That has

‘now changed to $12.50 a day.

plus the base cost of $7.50 a
day for a total of $20. |
By :the same: token a pri-
vate room used to cost $5 a
day plus the $6.50 base rate,
for a total of $11.50 a day.
Now a private room costs

$25 a day plus the $7.50 base
rate for! a total of $32.50 a
day.

Cost for a ward bed in-
creased from $6.50 a day to

» $7:60 a day — or a 16 per cent

increase.

to $7 and emergency and
minor surgery charges in-
creased 50 per cent, from $2

In other. hospital news:

, Castlegar Hospital has
changed its long term care
policy, so that now patients
or their families must make
three choices when applying
for accommodation and -ac-
cept. the first vacancy, re-
gardless of their top choice.

However, patients will
have the chance to move .to
the first choice when there ‘is.
a vacancy.

The policy is to ensure that
acute care beds will be
able for elective’ surgery,
medical and emergency :ad-
missions, and ‘not filled’ by
long term care patients.

. @ Castlegar Hospital has a
new. x-ray unit, which» is
presently being installed.
The new unit is intended to
improve the quality of fluor!
oscopy examinations. Physi-

cians will now be able to view

the process ona screen at the
time of the x-ray. The unit
will also be used as a teaching
tool for Selkirk College's
nursing program.

OTTAWA (CP) — Top
, forecasters: do ' not expect
* economic recovery until mid-
year, timing that would make
the. current ion the

The forecasts, collected in
December and January, were

analyzed by John Lester, as- *

sistant. director of the na-

longest and ‘probably most
severe in the post-war per-
iod, the Conference Board of
Canada said this week.

The board’s quarterly ‘sur-
vey of forecasts by banks,
investment firms and private
sector economists contains
pessimistic predictions for
‘1982 of fairly persistent in-
flation, rising unemployment:
and no economic growth.

The forecasts are more
pessimistic than those issued
in the fall. And more than
one-quarter of the 18 organ-
izations. surveyed have
doubts a mid-year recovery
will even last into 1983 as
they fear interest rates will
soar again and take their toll.

The average - forecast
shows the annual rate of in-
flation dropping for the first
time since 1976, but the re-
-duction is only slight — drop-

: ping 1.5 per centage points

from last year to 10.9 per
cent in 1982,

expected to average 8.5 per

centage point from last fall

four quarters of negative
growth are expected before
the recovery begins. On top
of duration, the recession is
considered severe because so

hurt so deeply.

VICTORIA (CP) —. The

The increase is due in part .

to expanding programs and
