CALDER CENTRE TRANSFERRED TO SASKATOON HEALTH DISTRICT

Released on December 10, 1996

Health Minister Eric Cline today announced the government's intention
to transfer the Calder Centre to the Saskatoon District Health Board.

About 50 permanent and non-permanent employees, along with associated
funds and resources, will be transferred from Saskatchewan Health to
the Saskatoon District Health Board. No employees will lose their jobs
as a result.

Calder Centre offers specialized in-patient alcohol and drug services
to residents of all health districts in Saskatchewan. These include
clinical services designed for men, women, youth and their families.

"A special agreement will be negotiated with the Saskatoon District
Health Board which will retain the provincial status and focus of the
programs," Cline said. "The Saskatoon District Health Board will
provide the services offered by Calder Centre to residents from
throughout Saskatchewan by agreement with the province."

Calder Centre will continue to offer services throughout the transfer
process. Clients will not see any change in the way they receive
services.

Access to Calder Centre will continue to be based on need. This is
similar to the principles surrounding a number of provincial programs
currently operated by districts in a variety of acute and diagnostic
areas.

"This transfer supports the goals of health renewal by helping health
districts provide a broad, integrated range of services," Cline said.

The same agreement-in-principle, signed by government and the
Saskatchewan Government Employees Union, which governed the transfer of
community health services and more than 1,400 Saskatchewan Health
employees to the health districts on April 1, 1995, will govern the
Calder transfer.

The transfer will take effect April 1, 1997.
