Some of these items were new additions while others. were replacements of items which had reached the end of their useful life. As you know, provincial operating grants do not include complete grants for: major equipment but only annual depreciation which" in our hos- pital was $417. for 1973. : Because much of our equipment is fully de- preciated and is quite old we will continue to need the support of all the people of the area in order to provide quality health care services. We know that individuals and organ- izations will continue to give their financial support for the purchase of hospital equipment. Public Relations Committee The McCausland Hospital Board.
