Health Minister Den- nis Timbreil has an- nounced that Durham Region will receive 60 additional nursing home beds. The announcement was made last week in response to a recom- mendation inade two years ago by the Durham Region District Health Council. 0f the 60 beds, 40 will be located in the Oshawa-Whitby area. The ministry has ad- vertised for proposals to construct a facility that wiil be primarily for bed care patients. However, the govern- ment will not subsidize the cost of building but will provide a daily per- bed subsidy. Proposals will be ac- cepted until the end of 1981, with the contract to be awarded sometime next spring.

He told Durham Regional Council t.hat it faces a "horrendous" problem ini caring for elderly people who need nursing care. The chairman of regional council's social services committee, Councillor John DeHlart (Oshawa), said last week that this announ- cernent may mean that a request for 25 addi- tional beds at Whitby's Fairview Lodge Home for the Aged may be turned down. .DeHart said that now that the health ministry has made the announce- ment, the ministry -of community and social services, that subsidizes homes for the aged, may be hesitant to ap- prove extra beds for Fairview Lodge. DeHart said that community and social services minister Frank Drea "can just turn around and say 'there 's 60 beds, that'Illdo ........
