Illness
Plan Opposed

RICHMOND. Dec. % tR.-
The Virginia Advisory Legis-
lative Council yesterday advised
against the States undertaking
a program Of institutional care
for the cnro:lically i'll.
But the report, recognizing
the tremendous magnitude Of
the problem" recommended
that study of chronic illness
be continued at the State level.
An appropriation of $35,0o0 to
the State Health Department
for such a study was urged.
Assigned Last Year
The study was assigned the
VALC by the 1854 General AS
sembly. The council was told to
deliver its report by October /.
1855. There was no explanation
for the delay
The continuation OF the study
&c. is necessary and proper. in
the light of the increasing num-
bers of chronically Ill and old
age groups and the grave posi-
bility of domination by the Fed
eral Government in the field. !"
the report said.
No fewer than five pilot stud
les in widely separated typical
areas Of Virginia should be I'M
by the health depart
ment to help formulate "a real
istic program. the VALC recon-
Data from these pilot
should be presented to
the 1858 General Assembly for
its consideration. said the report.
Favors Local Control
I'VE are unanimous in our be-
lief and philosophy that any
programs. voluntary or public,
developed for the chronically i'll,
should be under the control and
administration of local people"
the report said.
only under such policy can
proper balance be maintained
between need for services and
adequate financial support.
1--WE do not feel that the State
can or should at this time en-
bark upon a program Of provid-
ing institutional facilities for
chronically Ill persons.
Institutional care should in
all cases be a last resort, since
1t is much less expensive and far
more conducive to the patients
welfare to have them treated and
cared for at home in all cases
when this is possible"
