CAPITAL APPROVAL ANNOUNCED

Released on June 1, 1998

Health Minister Clay Serby today announced approval in principle for

an addition of a community health facility to St. Paul's Lutheran Home

in Melville. Serby said the approval allows the North Valley Health

District to proceed with additional planning of the facility and to

finalize the project scope and cost.



It is expected that the new facility will integrate acute care

services, community based programs and district administration with

the existing long term care services.



"We are investing in quality health services," Serby said. "The

provincial contribution will be finalized once an agreement is reached

between the district and Saskatchewan Health."



Capital projects are funded based on a standard formula of 65 per cent

provincial and 35 per cent district funding, except in Regina,

Saskatoon and northern Saskatchewan.



Capital proposals are reviewed by a Capital Evaluation Committee that

includes staff from Saskatchewan Health and representatives of health

districts.



Approval-in-principle means that the project is a high provincial

priority. The approval allows the district to continue local

consultations, proceed with detailed facility design and outline

a proposed schedule for construction.



This year's capital budget is $44.9 million, including spending

on previously announced and newly approved projects.
