Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is my pleasure to present to you, on behalf of the Committee of Management, the 26th Annual Report of the Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital for the year ending 30th. June, 1 9 8 7 .

Committee of Management:

It has been a very busy year for the Com­

mittee. After years of working towards extra Nursing Home beds, and an enlarged Day Care Centre, the news that Approval-in-Principal had been granted was a boost to us all. In eighteen months time the extra buildings should be available for use. The running of a Major Ap­

peal, and planning of the shape of the extra ac­

commodation, and furniture will require a lot of work still, but is being enthusiastically tackled in a real team effort, and the Committee is backed by the staff and community all the way. It is good to be able to state that our own Regional Director and Regional Officers have given strong support throughout, and visit us fre­

quently.

Hospital Services:

A busy year in all departments has included the introduction of a Renal Dialysis Unit. In close association with St. Vincent's Hospital our Unit has been developed into a satisfactory extra facility available at this Hospital. The en­

thusiasm and skill of our local Doctors and Nursing Staff made this possible, and support was given by other staff to make the extra plant and equipment work to perfection, after a run-in period. This type of service, and others, makes it possible for local people to be treated in Edenhope rather than be sent away elsewhere.

Staff:

Mr. Michael Scarlett, our C . E . O . from Hamilton Base Hospital, has moved to St. John of God Private Hospital, Ballarat. We wish him well and acknowledge his oversight and help over nine years.

Our Resident Manager, Mr Leslie, and our Director of Nursing, Mrs. J. Cother, have given continuity of service over several years now, and their skill and application is acknowledged.

The support of all members of staff is essential, and this is freely given, each in their own area of expertise. It is this team effort that enables

2

this Hospital to maintain and increase health services, to cater for the needs of the people who live in a large area around us, principally from the Shire of Kowree, but also beyond. Our two District Nurses, based on this Hospital, service people from a large area around us.

Other Services:

Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Podiatrist, Dentist and Opti­

cian make their skills available in Edenhope through the Hospital.

Appreciation:

The goodwill and support from the Com­

munity is shown in many ways. Donations of money and in-kind continue to be received, especially from Harvest Festivals. The local Clergy and Church Representatives readily visit and comfort and support patients and their relatives. Groups organise entertainment for the Day Care Centre.

Two splendid Auxiliaries continue to raise money for special equipment and articles for the Hospital not available from normal funding.

Most members have given years of service, but enjoy working together for these purposes.

The "Kowree Advocate" has given us great publicity and assistance.

The Lions Club made money available for the purchase of Nursing Home beds. We thank them also.

Conclusion:

The Health Care system is living in times of change, not relying so much on the historical pattern of the past, but endeavouring to look into the future to try to cope with the financial restraints and rationalisation in our Health Department. My Committee is indebted to our administration who, in this difficult period, have enabled us to continue providing quality health care to everyone who needs it.

I thank you one and all for your help to this Hospital in the past, in the present, and in the future, especially with the Nursing Home and Day Care Centre projects - results of which are not very far away but still need a lot of work and money.

ROSS McDONALD, PRESIDENT.

It is my pleasure to present the Treasurer's Report for the Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital.

In accordance with the accounting and reporting requirements of the Health Depart­

ment Victoria, the Financial Accounts of this institution have been prepared and presented using the accruals basis of accounting.

Operating Costs were $ 1 , 3 8 5 , 5 8 2 , in­

come $ 1 , 4 0 0 , 0 8 4 , giving a surplus of

$ 1 4 , 5 0 2 . Salaries and Wages, including Superannuation, Long Service Leave, Accrued Annual Leave and Accrued Days Off represent 72% of the total costs, and as such are not easily altered by the Committee.

Thanks are due to the Finance Committee and Auditor, the management of the Hamilton Base Hospital, the Resident Manager and Staff of the Edenhope Hospital for their help and understanding in the financial control of this Hospital, and in the preparation of the Finance Reports for the Year 1 9 8 6 - 8 7 .

J. L. JENKINS, Treasurer.

(Ct[[3VE(3 CG? LEE(EGG [[WE(L

It is my pleasure to present this Annual Report for 1986/87.

Another busy year has just passed with high bed occupancy rate and consequently, full use of all available Nursing Staff.

This year has been very significant for Edenhope Hospital as we have been able to set up our own Renal Dialysis Unit.

This has allowed Terry McCarthy to live a normal life at home with his family and to be dialysed three times each week.

Three of our Registered Nurses - Kate Hackwill, Pam Cameron and Meredith Finnigan each spent three weeks at St. Vincent's Hospital undergoing training, and they now operate this very important unit with great com­

petence.

There were a few technical hitches in the beginning but these have now been overcome.

Two other Registered Nurses - Sandra Hinch and Elizabeth Carracher undertook a

Coronary Care Course at Wimmera Base Hospital and gained a Certificate.

My congratulations go to them all for not only upgrading their own level of clinical com­

petence, but in so doing, elevating the general expertise of the Hospital.

The Career Structure for Nurses has been introduced and is in operation.

Although we received an increase in the Nursing Staff Establishment, it was not as much as hoped for, but it is helping to ease the situa­

tion.

I would like to thank both Ladies' Auxiliaries who work timelessly for the Hospital and to Mr.

Leslie for his support, and the Medical, Nurs­

ing, Domestic and Auxiliary Staffs for their hard work and loyalty throughout the year.

JOANNA COTHER, Director of Nursing.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE, 1987

Statement of Accounting Policies

The Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and have not been adjusted to take account of the current costs of specific assets or their im­

pact on the operating results. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted were also used in the preceding year.

Depreciation

As at the 1st July, 1 9 8 3 , a provision for depreciation was established, but because of the severe constraints of time and manpower, the procedures laid down by the Health Department Victoria could not be adopted. Instead, the Historical Cost of Plant and Equipment has been main­

tained and a provision for depreciation established, calculated at the rate of 1 0 % per annum from date of pur­

chase of each item of Plant and Equipment. In the current year a further 1 0 % of the historical cost has been raised as an expense. The procedure will continue pending the establishment of an Asset Register.

1 0

Accrued Expenses

Salaries and Wages accrued from the last pay period in June, 1 9 8 7 to 30th June. 1987 have been brought to account as an expense. Annual Leave accrued to 30th June, 1 9 8 7 has also been brought to account. Where debts have been incurred for services and/or goods sup­

plied and an account has been rendered but not paid, the expense has been brought to account as a Creditor. No other expenses have been accrued.

Administration Expenses

The amount of $68,890 shown under this heading in the Statement of Operating Income and Expenditure in­

cluded payments of $9,253 made on behalf of the Hospital by the Health Department Victoria.
