Health Minister Clay Serby today announced approval in principle for
renovations at Estevan Regional Nursing Home in the South East Health
District. The project will focus on fire safety enhancements and will
improve resident and staff safety.
"We are investing in quality health services," Serby said. "The
provincial contribution for these projects will be determined once
agreements are finalized between South East 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.
