March aifiw, we led all Canada
withslm. In the year ending
March Si. H50 we placed fourth with a' pereentass of ea. In the
year ending March 51, 151 we placed third with a percentage of 82. In the summary tonecember 81, 1960, totalling the p'ro,locts5 for the three and one half years. we again led all of Canada with a percentage expenditure of almost 0.
"It is surely significant that the work of this Department has been well expanded and handsomely re- paid by money from the Federal Treasury. If we showed lack of imagination or if we showed in- difference we would not have ac- complished so much for the people of this Province.
Professional Training
"I will now enumerate some of the thins! we commenced within the past four years by our accept- ance of the program offered by the Federal Government.
"In a program of professional training we succeeded in providing training (mostly at Canadian Uni- vcrsltlcs) for doctors, nurses ,and some other professional people. They can now do more efficiently the work which was expected of them. All those who took training were graduates in their particular fields and the assistance given was to further their education in spec- ial work.
"The people trained remain in the Province for at least one and one half years and in Canada for a further period at one and one half years. We find that if we give training to persons born in this Province they will continue to work here although the salary which they receive may be less than that which they might get in other Provinces. The full cost of this training program is paid by the Federal Government.
"In the control of Tuberculosis we took over the work of the Ma- lalle X-ray Unit and supplied the funds for its support. We expand- ed the preventive phase of checking this disease by setting up clinics in various parts of the Prov' Last year this pi ” c section showed a marked increase in work and new cases found. It is therefore hoped that, by the joint use of X-ray and our travelling clinics. we can contact our TB. patients at an earlier stage in the disease and thereby help them to recover sooner. our death rate from tuber- culosis has so decreased within the past few years that we now believe that we will have vacant beds in our Bsnatorium before long.
"In the Cancer program inaugu- rated by the Department we have in the past four years established something which will be of benefit to all our people. Early dlasnoals of this disease will save many lives. The records now kept and

Until a cure is found early diagnosis is the only remedy and we are working to that end as rapidly as poulbls. In the ex- penditure of money, we, in this Province. Pl! 505 of the cost: the balance is paid by the Federal Government.
Mental lllealth
"In the field of mental health we have been unable to accomp- lish as much, but in the fiscalysar which is just ended we have been training doctors who will be able to establish clinics in mental health similar to those now in use in the tuberculosis field. You all know that with the stress and hurry of life as it is today. there is a ten- dency to have a greater percentage of mental illness than we formerly had. In the fan of 1961; we secured the services of a trained occupa- tional therapist. Thls lady has performed a useful service for the patients in the institution. It would be interesting for any one of you to see the many this things that the patients have made under the direction of this occupational therapist. with such service avail- able and made interesting to pa- tlsnts. the percentage of recovery is much greater.
"Our plans for the future include the building of a treatment centre on the spacious grounds at Fal- conwood. In this treatment centre mentally ill patients will have the advice and opinion of highly train- ed persons who will be qualified to administer the most modern meth- ods of helping the entail ill. The building will be so located that it will be easily accessible to the present buildings of the Hospital.
"Up to the present. when our people required special treatment for mental diseases they were ad- mitted to the Nova scotia Hospi- tal. Recently we were advised that the Hospital in Nova scotla was overcrowded and that it would no longer be possible for them to pro- vide accommodation and treatment there for residents of Prince Ed- ward Island. We really anticipated this situation and have been look- ing into the field of planning for the new building for almost two years. we now have plans which we consider suitable for the new building. As soon as specifications are completed we will commence the construction of this treatment centre.
v "Another field of mental health which is giving us concern is that of the care of retarded children. Inithe past year we have. in con- junction with the other Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland, been investigating the possibility of a home where these children may be trained. The case of the retarded child has been before the Women's Institutes for some time and I am now happy to announce that we have been able to accomplish much more in the past year. It now all- pears that with the co-opera” of

Hospital construction
Ana agreement we had with Ottawa was on hospital construc- tion. In this, as in the Cancer grant. we pay dollar for dollarwith the Federal Gme. at. with this money we have been able to pro- vids additional bed capacity for the Charlottetown Hospital, the Prince County Hospital and the Prince Edward Island Hospital, and to help build the Tyne Valley Memorial Home and the new Health Centre. and provide addit- ions to the Provincial Sanatorium. There will be a further grant for the treatment centre at Falcon- wood to which I referred a short time ago. The meant high cost of hospital construction is a great detriment to any organisation or coinrnunit having expansion plans in view. These grants from both Governments have helped all the hospitals I mentioned.
”The Hospital grant is paid to any hospital it the building meets the requirements laid down by the E lninion architect. If the hospi- tal does not meet the necessary re- quirements for fire protection a grant would be refused. Any hos- pital commenced before April, I918 was required to show in a manner satisfactory to the DominionTreas- ury Department a detailed state- ment of expenditures.
"This winter and spring we op- ened a permanent clinic in the Provincial Banatorlum to care-for the victims of the recent pollomy- elitis epidemic. Fortunately there were fewer cases of polio than in the epidemic of 1941. but there were many young people who needed special care and treatment. In this field we have secured the assistance of a. trained physiother- apist and with the additional help from the staff of the Red Cross Society we hope to aid materially and get complete recovery for our polio victims. g
"In the years between our polio- myelitis epidemics we gave our Federal Health grant for crippled children to the Red Cross Society to assist this worthy organization in its work for crippled children. The money for this grant is paid in full from the Federal Treasury.
General Public Health - I
"Another very important grant was the one for general Public Health. From the money: which we received for general Public Health-and it is all paid by Otta- wa-we have completed several projects. I will not refer to all of them. but only to some of the larger ones. '
