Last week’s budget saw massive investment to assist our health system to address the issues that the international COVID crisis has caused and the demand that our health system has been under. Frankston Hospital in the peninsula area is certainly a project that will go a long way to ensuring that we can build for the future and that our health system has the capacity to deal with crises like this.

We want to see boots on the ground, cranes in the air and people working on the Frankston Hospital redevelopment.
