Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 35 of 1950. A BILL TO AMEND THE MATERNITY HOSPITALIZATION ACT NOTE. This Bill amends The Mate'rnity Hospitalization Act, being

chapter of the Statutes of Alberta, 1944. A new

section 5a is added immediately after

section 5. This

section enables the Minister to pay to any woman who receives maternity hospitalization in a hospital situate out side the Province a grant on a per diem basis for a period of hospitalization not exceeding twelve days if she complies with the requirements laid down in the section. Pursuant to these requirements she must be entitled to free hospitaliza tion and she must reside in an area where, in the opinion of the Minister, a hospital within the Province is not readily accessible to her. She is also required to submit a receipt from the hospital showing her account as paid in full.

The amount of the grant is the same as would have been paid to the hospital within the Province that is nearest to her place of residence if she had been hospitalized in that hospital. Alberta residents who live in border areas where an Alberta hospital is not readily accessible and consequently receive maternity hospitalization in another province, may now obtain the benfits provided for in this Act by reason of this amendment.
