“extended care ~ 75-bed acute care hospitalas suggested last

ugust ‘by. Health Minister Loffmark, and has appointed a ‘siting
committee’ to advice ona location to serve the Saanich peninsula

orth of Elk Lake.

_ The’ Peninsula Hospital Com-
; mittee unanimously concurs. with
the: Regional’ Board’ 5 action, and
as.a group which is representa-
: ive of the area it is anxious that
“the hospital will be best located
and sized to. serve this area.

te does" ‘intend to concern itself
with: decisions by the Regional
‘Board-.on. other hospital cone
ostruction outside the peninsula
Breage 2! fas

» Regarding location, the Com-

‘mittee favors a site which is
central within the peninsula area

“north

ically. a2 location ‘within the
rurally=.zoned. area between
Mount Newton Cross Road and
the North Saanich Boundary, west
of the Patricia Bay Highway and
with access to Wallace Drive,

The Committee particularly

. emphasizes that the ‘site forthe

combined. hospital should be no

-smaller. than 20 acres, and should

be adequately. separated . from
residentially- zoned. property to

permit — future growth and ace:

.of Elk Lake, and Specit~.
