        "text": "Dove, J.\nSt. Mary\u2019s Hospital, Decatur, of the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, An Illinois Corporation, claimant, presented its statement to the Department of Public Aid for hospitalization services rendered one Myrtle Strickier for the period from June 6, 1965 to June 15, 1965. The Department of Public Aid had determined that the recipient was eligible to receive aid under its program of Assistance to the Medically Indigent Aged, but the Department denied the instant claim on November 18, 1965 on the basis that it was for services rendered prior to July 1, 1965, and that the appropriation for that biennium had lapsed. Thereafter, and on December 9, 1965, a complaint in this matter was filed in the Court of Claims. It contains a request for payment of the sum of $318.20, representing charges for the hospital services furnished said Myrtle Stickler during the above mentioned period of time.\nA Departmental Report was filed in this matter, and received in the Attorney General\u2019s office on January 14, 1966, which stated: \u201cWe admit claimant is justly entitled to the amount claimed.\u201d Thereafter a written stipulation was entered into between claimant and respondent by their respective attorneys, which found that claimant furnished services to the said Myrtle Stickler; that the reasonable and equitable charges for the services so provided by claimant amounted to the sum of $318.20; and, that claimant was entitled to be reimbursed in that amount.\nThis Corut has repeatedly held that, where a contract has been (1) properly entered into; (2) services satisfactorily performed, and materials furnished in accordance with such contract; (3) proper charges made therefor; (4) adequate funds were available at the time the contract was entered into; and, (5) the appropriation for the biennium from which such claim could have been paid had lapsed, it would enter an order for the amount due. Memorial Hospital of Du Page County, a Corporation, vs. State of Illinois. It appears that all qualifications for an award have been met in the instant case.\nClaimant is hereby awarded the sum of $318.20.",
