NEEDS — The hospital needs of & district are. estimated at from four to se- ven acute beds and one active treat-|' ment chronic bed per 1,000 popula- tion together with reasonable nur- aing home facilities for the aged sick... ‘As regards chronic beds and nursing homes, virtually none exis: in the district and caser of this nature are sent outside, mainly to Mt. St. Francis Infirmary in Nel- son and certain nursing homes. It-4s. uneconomic. to provide chronic "hospital facilities in. units of less than: 40 beds and BCHIS points our ‘that active ‘uentment of such cases can be carried out in Mt. st: "Francis, provided some of its present patient load can be eas- ed by the provision of more nursing homes, for which~purpose govern- ment grants have been”made more easily available for the construction of nursing homes as private hos- Pitals. ‘We recommend that the hos- pital board do everything possible to encourage the establishment of nursing homes in the district for the care of the aged rick. For acute hospital treatment, bearing in mind the proximity of hospitals at Trail and Nelson, Cas- tlegar and District’s needs are ta- ken to be five beds per 1,000 popula- tion, The preesnt hospital of 32 beds provides for a population at the time construction was approv- ed in 1953 of 6,500. Since then, many developments have taken place, the effects of which have. been and will be’ felt, The population of the. scliool dis- trict (colncident. with the improve- ‘ment district) is taken by the school 7105 for 1960 and. this figure excludes transient construc- tion workers on the Celgar pulp mil.
