Extended care changes proposed at Portage la Prairie board meeting
Portage la Prairie Hospital District officials discussed extending care unit charges for patients awaiting placement in personal care homes. W. W. Devine noted Manitoba Health Services Commission may approve the plan, with similar moves seen in Dauphin Swan River and Brandon. The panel from Lions Manor and hospital considers an exchange program for residents who would benefit from hospital care while acknowledging bed and room distinctions. A separate measure approved to raise group travel accident coverage for board members to 50 000 in death or dismemberment, 300 weekly indemnity, and 2 500 medical costs, effective since 1967, though no claims are anticipated. The meeting, chaired by Webster Burton, ran 65 minutes with J G Omichinski absent.
