Medical Facilities Must Be Expanded (Continued from page 1) erans' Administration, the report states, adding that such veterans will probably number from 1,500,000 to 2,500,000, depending upon how long the War lasts. Itesponsibility for medical care of the approximate ly 13,000,000 veterans who will not have service-connected disabilities must rest mainly with their own communities, according to the com mittee. "It should be made clear," the re port states, "that the subcommit tee does not advocate any restrict ion on the responsibility which the Congress has placed on the Veter ans' Administration, nor medical services now assured to veterans On the contrary, it belfeveR that the i esponsibility of the Veterans' Ad ministration should be expanded to include full care of all having ser vice-connected disabilities. It believes also that the Admin istration should continue to have the authority which it now posses ses to admit for hospital care any veteran in need of such care, when facilities are available and when he is unable to pay for hospitalization. This provision is a necessary safe guard because of inadequate romm. unity facilities at the present time, although it can never be a satis factory alternative to community hospital programs for 11 veterans...” Special emphasis is given in the j report to the need for developing psychiatric services for veterans who do not require hospitalization for mental condition. It is pointed out that forty percent of Army medical discharges have been for neuropsychiatric reasons, and that a large percentage of veterans will need professional help in readjust-j ing themselves to civilian life. There are so few psychiatrists in relation to the need, the report stat es, that it will be impossible to pro vide special psychiatric services for veterans other than those requiring hospitalization. The subcommittee recommends a program of Federal and State aid to communities in de veloping a network of mental hy giene clinics. It is estimated that there should be 1300 such clinics, one per 100,000 population, each serving all groups in Its own com munity. A major part of the Veterans' Ad ministration hospital program is de voted to the care of veterans Who do not have service-connected dis abilities, the report states. In 1942 more than 93 percent of the veter ans admitted to hospitals were treat ed for such disabilities. Veterans in this group are admitted only when beds are available; they must declare themselves unable to pay for hospitalization and they do not receive out-patient treametnt. The subcommittee considers this arrangement uneconomical and un satisfactory from the point of view of the veterans, although it believ es it must be continued until ade quate medical facilities are made a vailable in the communities where the veterans live. The report points out htat if this load is shifted to the local communities, the Veterans’ Administration will probably be able to provide full care for the ser -vice-disabled with a bed capacity of 101,000, its goal for 19<7. Vet erans’ Administration plans now call for expansion to 300,000 beds by 1975. The report was signed by all five members of the subcommittee list ed at the beginning of the story.
