Officials with the South Bruce Grey Health Centre are playing the waiting game.
CEO Paul Davies says they’ve submitted their business case for the redevelopment of the Kincardine hospital to the SouthWest Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).
Now, they wait for the LHIN to approve it before it can be sent on to the Ministry of Health.
Davies says the plan calls for a two phase rebuild on the existing site that would connect the existing medical clinic at a cost of 104 million dollars.
It was chosen over a rebuild at a lower cost of 84 million.
The province will cover 90 per cent of the 43 million dollar first phase, the rest has to be covered through local fundraising.
There is no time line on when the LHIN will approve it and pass it on – but hopes it will be sometime this month.
Construction would not likely begin until the spring of 2012 and two years later.
