NO FUNDS FOR DOCTORS OFFICES a letter to Jack Stokes Dear Jack "I am pleased to learn from your letter of June I5th, I976, that the representatives of McCausland Hospital, Thunder Bay, were encour- aged as a result of discussions with Ministry staff, on the subject of the I975/76 budget. and the proposed new facility. Following the May 28th meeting, Mr. W.

It is possible we may be able to suggest certain modifications which could. have the effect of reducing the total cost of the project and this, of course, would decrease the hospital's portion of the capital funds.
