CHAIRMAN TROUTMAN:
Is that information available?
ARNOLD NUNNERY:
I'll do my best, Mrs. Pendleton. In January of 1980,
a $90,000 study was completed, conducted by the Iredell
Area Health Planning Group that looked at the needs of the
county and the abilities of the three hospitals, the health
department and the mental health clinic to meet them.
The feasibility studies, the first one I believe was
about $18,000, and the other two were slightly less. The
public opinion survey was about $5,600, paid for by both
hospitals instead of one. I believe that is the figures
as I remember.
I think that it would be very foolish of us to try
to manage your county -owned hospital without getting the
best information available to make decisions. Information
is very expensive, but sometimes it's worth what you pay
for it.
CHAIRMAN TROUTMAN:
Mr. Nunnery, if I might add a little information. You
said the original survey or study by the Hamilton Associates
was $90,000. That wasn't only paid by the Lowrance, the
Iredell Memorial, and Davis Hospital people, but that was
also paid by the Duke Endowment, the Iredell County Board
of Commissioners, by Iredell County Health Department,
