For CAT scanner Camino Real approves hospital's application The Camino Real Health Systems Agency board of directors approved Val Verde Memorial Hospital's plan for a $406,000 CAT scanner (commuted tomography) facility when the board met in San Antonio Wednesday night.

CRHSA health project review associate James Munoz today said the board recommendation and staff analysis will be sent "in a day or two" to the State Health Facilities Commission, which is due to hold a public hearing in Austin, Oct. 20, on the hospital's application for a certificate of need for the CAT scanner. The health systems agency's planning document had called for a moratorium on "whole-body" CAT scanners through 1981, Munoz observed, "but the board felt there were other factors in the Val Verde application that counterbalanced that." The proposed project not only would include the purchase of sophisticated diagnostic x-ray equipment that has the capability of scanning different views and angles of the body and organs of a patient to determine any abnormalities, but also, construction of a 550-square-foot structure to house it. The structure would be built into the existing hospital facility, across from the radiologist's office. Munoz said the summary to be referred to the health facilities commission will include reviews by the board and its subcommittee, as well as the staff analysis of the need.

Observing that all 13 of the CAT scanners in the 21-county health systems region are located in Bexar County, Val Verde hospital administrator Tom Santry today said, "We feel this is somewhat of a breakthrough. People from this area now have to be referred to San Antonio for this procedure and suffer long delays and additional cost, "Now, we will be able to provide a diagnostic capability in trauma cases, as well as medical that the area has not had." Santry said the hospital district was "fortunate" to be able to purchase a $605,000 scanner for $315,000, because the manufacturer, Technicare, of Cleveland, Ohio, was re-tooling. CETA.

Last spring, the president proposed cutting Social Security benefits to save $3.8 billion in 1982, but the plan produced such a political backlash in Congress that Reagan never pushed for its passage. Sources said Reagan now has decided to try anew to defer the annual cost-of-living increase, which would save $2.8 billion next year, because it appears to have the best political chances among the earlier Social Security proposals. In March, they noted, a Democratic-controlled House subcommittee approved a similar measure, but it has not reached the full House. Congressional sources, meanwhile, say they have received indications from administration officials that the president may not veto moves in the House and Senate to trim SWEET CHALLENGE These two children try the left prefers a more delicate method while her military spending for 1982 by different approaches as they eat cotton candy at the companion just digs in, nose and all.
