Prince Rupert's Budget-is $12,216,634 for 19,568 people-. Kitimat's Hospital Budget is $ 7,706,670 for 13,652 people.

Terrace's population figures exclude a much larger regional referral base, for which it is not funded.

• Are 1_lou aware that Terrace provides the only full-time ICU coverage in the region? 30-40% of our critical patients come from outside our funded area. The Hospital is not paid for this.

Physicians have consistently refused to turn critically ill patients away from the door, despite bureaucratic pressure. Critically ill patients travel poorly, even on air ambulances.

• Are you aware that despite the recent public statement that we have 52 beds, Terrace is budgeted for only 25 acute care med- ical beds, 3 ICU beds, and 10 regional psychiatry beds?

We admire the nurses at Mills, who struggle to care for up to 36 patients in the 25 acute care beds[ Our bed budget is clearly inadequate.

• Are z_/ou aware that contrary to our advice, all pediatrics, maternity, general medicine and surgery patients are now crowded together on a single ward?

A patient awaiting planned cardiac surgery may be next to another patient with contagious pneumonia, or in the room next to a child with chicken pox. The palliative care room is now beside the children's play room.

We believe that patient care and patient dignity are suffering

Fiscal responsibility is important, but adequate Hospital funding is vital. p.s. The OR and the CAT scan are still closing. Anaesthesia service is still uncertain. This is not about physician funding, it is about hospital fundin~
