MORE NURSES FOR MOOSE JAW THUNDER CREEK HEALTH DISTRICT

Released on May 25, 1998

Health Minister Clay Serby today announced that additional nurses will

be hired to meet urgent needs and improve the quality of health care

in Moose Jaw Thunder Creek Health District.



"We've been listening to what people are saying about health care and

the need to increase our front line workers," Serby said. "We've

announced additional funding to hire new nursing staff. Our goal is

to ensure the quality of care and to put some additional staff where

they are most needed."



Serby announced on May 19 that 200 new nurses will be hired across the

province. The government will invest an estimated $9 million from

this year's $1.72 billion health budget.



Serby said that the funding has been targeted to the districts which

provide a higher level of acute care services and who serve residents

outside their own districts. Moose Jaw Thunder Creek Health District

will receive $240,000.



Dale Toni, Chairperson for the Moose Jaw-Thunder Creek District Health

Board commented, "The additional funds are welcome. The district is

currently undertaking a review of staffing levels and will use that

information to assist in determining the best way to allocate this new

funding to nursing staff."
