CAPITAL APPROVAL ANNOUNCED

Released on June 11, 1998

Health Minister Clay Serby today announced approval in principle for

upgrading at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert. The project

involves upgrading the Victoria Hospital tower, including renovations

to three levels of inpatient wards and nursing support areas. The

project will also upgrade the exterior envelope of the tower for

building safety and energy efficiency purposes, as well as fire safety

improvements.



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

provincial contribution for these projects will be determined once

agreements are finalized between the Prince Albert Health District and

Saskatchewan Health."



Capital proposals are reviewed by a Capital Evaluation Committee that

includes staff from Saskatchewan Health and representatives of health

districts.



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

previously announced and newly approved projects.
