Aw representative from
Lions. Gate: Hospital con-

' fronted - North Vancouver

City Council: Monday night
‘asking: for ‘support ‘to fund
- $300,00 in improvements to
child care facilities at the
hospital. ,

: CR. Rustcineyer,

_ General. Manager of the —
B.C. Safety Council said he

is looking for'a $1 donation
from.every man, woman and

- child on. the North Shore to

assist’ in financing the
modernization project. That
comes to nearly. $200,000.

The remainder, he said had
already been collected:

$75,000 from, donations
' taken-at the opening of the
new. Hudson’s ‘Bay store at
Park * Royal and $33,000
collected by the LGH Ladies
Auxiliary. ;

Rustemeyer explained
that “this is the year of. the
child and children care is an
important part of the

hospital facilities that need

to be renovated.”

“Right now the children’s
floor has io facility where
parents can stay with their
children,” he - explained,

“and our present set-up does
not allow close observation
of children as required. ”

‘Rustemeyer told council
the hospital required the
facility right now which is
why he took the matter of
funding into its own hands.

“We want to do it this
year,” he said. “We don’t
want it to be delayed.”

“If we waited for the
provincial government and
the GVRD to get it going it
would take ten years.” So
far, Rustemeyer admitted,
the hospital has not ap-

proached Victoria

_ balance,

. . ‘for
financial support. -
‘-. He said that ‘if the

. $200,000 goal’ was not

reached, the hospital would
be prepared to: borrow the .

project going.

Alderman .Gordon Cross

seriously «doubted if. the

project deserved such “high:

priority “with the hospital
$1.2 million in the hole”.

+ “I can’t see you justifying .
he. said...
“Here you have a ‘hospital.

the’ expenditure,”

that gets a government ‘A’
grant and is still losing
money, and on the other
hand the board of directors
are ignoring the cost of. the
deficit by trying to fund
‘Cadillac’ treatment.’’

“Mayor Jack Loucks, a

member of the hospital .
‘said part of the

board,
financial problem of the

hospital is the amount of. -

money they do receive from
Victoria. - -

‘He said LGH receives $24
per diem from the provincial
coffers, while other hospitals
in the province get $34.50
per diem. ®

“The directors seem -to .
think that we are being

penalized , for being ef-
ficient,” ‘he said. “We
haven’t been treated

adequately for what we’ve
done.”

Loucks said LGH is not
providing ‘Cadillac’
ment, but he was quick to
point out that the hospital
care in Lions Gate is. “as
good as any in the province.’

Council will make a
decision whether or not to

-ebuttoolate |
for District grant

North -Vancouver District
council found itself divided
Monday upon a request by
Lions Gate Hospital that
council receive a delegation
in connection with a fund-
raising drive for the child-
ren’s floor at the hospital.

At first both Alderman
Peter Powell and Alderman
Ball were in’ favour of
receiving the delegation,

believing that it was merely
to seck council approval for a
vag day or some other form of
fund raising.

It transpired, however,
that what the hospital plan-

ned was to ask for a capital
grant from the District.

Council has a policy that it
will not receive delegations
seeking such grants. The
correct method is to process
these requests through cor-
respondencc.

li was also pointed out that
the 1979 ‘budget was too
close to completion for the

consideration of further
grants.
A motion to refuse to

receive a delegation was
carried three to two.
