(north of Steeles, s. of 5th Side Rd.) Patricia Scheben Sales Representative ~ 842-7000 By IRENE GENTLE The Champion Following approval of a $ 17.5 million capital budget, Halton Healthcare Services (HHS) is ready to roll on a $9 million Oakville emergency department restructuring project. HHS operates the newly-amalgamated Milton District and Oakville Trafalgar Memorial hospitals. The Oakville Trafalgar.emergency department revamp is the largest of a series of projects set to go following the approval of the 1999-2000 capital budget by the HHS board of directors recently. The budget is divided into three main components; capital projects, renovations and retumn on investment projecta. Weighing in at $1 1.7 million, renovation projects directed by the Health Services Restructuring Committee bite off the largest chunk of the budget. These projects were identified after an investigation by consultants revealed that OTMH is not equipped to handle upcom- ing growth in the ares. Though the emergency department makeover polishes off the lion's share of the renovations budget a $500,000 39 bed rebabilitation unit is also on the to do list. Reconstruction of the hospital's histol- ogy unit swallows another $200,000, while $720,000 bas been designated for mental health services. Capping the renovations is a new $1 million Women's Diagnostic Centre. The centre will focus on providing services in areas such as mamnmography and ultra- sound. The Minîstry of Health is expected to bankroll half that project. In ail, the Ministry is expected to shell out $7.9 million of the total $1 1.7 million renovation price tag. In the ares of equipment and capital pro- jects, about $1.38 million of the $5.1 mil- lion budget is slated for Oakville projects. Milton's share is $416,000. Tbe Milton portion will purchase the construction of a new patient washroom andi a $66,000 film digitizer, among other projects. 011j* livo ",15SI».ýliýil Ceulues Io weci Ihi, uevds ofthose ivith ph J'SI'( (I/ 01' CO(illitive
