Whereas a primary purpose of a regional hospital district under the Hospital District Act is to establish, acquire, construct, reconstruct, enlarge, operate and maintain hospitals and hospital facilities; And whereas the current practice is that long-term capital infrastructure projects are financed based on a cost-sharing formula of 60 the Province and 40 the regional hospital districts, which is often not achievable for rural hospital districts: Therefore be it resolved that the provincial government formally establish a reduced expected rate for rural regional hospital districts below the current standard of 40 as their contribution to capital infrastructure projects.
