sAM CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, December 22, 1977 The ‘Slocan Community Hospital Board is planning another trip to Victoria this week to discuss staff cuts at the hospital and its proposed build- ing program, ‘The: hospital has been cutting back its staff in an attempt to comply with a reduced budget from the pro- vines. The board has been ,meeting weekly to work out revised schedules which will allow for sufficient staffing within the new budget. “It's a real problem,” said board member Walter Thring, “trying to cut back our staff and still keep the hospital running smoothly.” The board is concerned that it may not be able to keep Car Stolen A 1967 Ford stationwagon, owned by David Sabo of Castlegar, was reported stolen at 6:50 p.m. Friday from Central Food Mart and was later recovered in Nelson. Police are investigating the incident, Slocan Hospital Cuts To Be Discussed » the hospital staffed properly within the guidelines of the new budget. Itis also concerned about a provincial proposal to phase out the hospital and replace it with a diagnostic care facility which would have: no, beds for in- patient treatment. ‘The board has a plan which would see an acute care hos- pital built in connection with the present pavillion which houses about 28 ‘senior citizens in'an intermediate care situa- tion. An acute care. facility would operate like the present hospital with beds for short- stay patients. Extended care patients, those which are bed- . ridden, are ‘also occasionally cared for at the present. hos- pital and the board would like to see the same flexibility in a new building., The board has received support for its plan from the’ Regional Hospital Board but is still seeking support from the province. A large! drop-off in - the use of the present hospital in recent years has spurred the cutbacks in New Denver.
