Hospital Bed Upgrade 'Moving Forward'

  VJH-Polson TowerThe next phase of the upgrade to Vernon's hospital is underway. It was a month ago Health Minister Mike de Jong announced new beds for the top two floors of the new tower. Vernon Monashee MLA Eric Foster tells Kiss FM,  a committee of staff, management and technical people have been talking about what facilities are needed. He says, "The professionals that are putting this together have to come up with a plan at what they want, and then the architects will have to draw it all out, and then they will go to tender." Foster says they should have a better idea of the cost--and how many beds will be included--after this process is complete. "They are at the table doing the actual lay-out of the plan, and moving forward with it." The Health Minister has only said it will cost more than 20 million dollars. The new beds will address regular overcrowding at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Each floor can accommodate up to 30 beds.
