Wingham hospital to spend $300,000 on new x-ray equipment By Henry Hess The Wingham and District Hospital plans to spend more than $300,000 this year on the purchase and installation of new x-ray equip- ment. At it's FbbrtrarY meeting the hospital board agrees to accept a package offered by the General Electric Company for $308,000 to supply and install a new machine as well as service and move the old one, which will be kept as a backup. The purchase is conditional on the final contract being reviewed and accepted by the board's finance and property committees. The hospital plans to have the new machine delivered by June or July in order to fit it into the construction schedule for the new wing, which includes expansion of the radiology department. The board was told the recommendation to purchase the GE package followed an exhaust tive review of three competing offers by Bob Hollenbeck, the hospital's chief radiology tedmician, and radiologist Dr. R B.

When the whole, package. was considered' however, the GE was ,more attractive, since that company was willing to move and service the old machine as part of the deal. 1 Another factor is both the current x-ray machine and the ultra -sound equipment are made by GE, he noted, and Hollenbeck told the committee service on the equipment has been very good. The cost of the GE and Thillips,madiines 44va.s very dose, with the Phillips slightly lower in initial cost.When the extra items ,of moving the old machine and replacing some equipment were added, however, it made the GE offer more economical, the board was told.The CGR madline was slightly lower in price but it is a new company, European, 'and "something of an -unknown quantity," Middleton said. Eventually the board agreed to purchase the GE equipment, but not without going through a number of motions, as members tried to ensure they would be getting exactly what they had been promised.
