The Lloydminster Hospital is getting a major cash input from the Saskatchewan government.

The Sask. Party has just announced $450,000 in funding that will complete the planning for the redevelopment of the hospital.

Prairie North Health Region CEO David Fan said that with the population of the area having grown 21 per cent in the last decade, the hospital is in need of expansion and re-development, and extra cash from the government will go a long way to getting the project completed.
