West Gippsland Hospital
This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly that it is necessary to fund the construction of the new West Gippsland Hospital. The current hospital is beyond its usable life and cannot continue to be patched up. In 2007 a greenfield site was secured by the WGHG and strong business cases have already been undertaken by Government. It is unacceptable to have a facility supporting a population of 58,000 with:
30 Medical Beds;
24 Surgical beds;
No separate high dependency unit;
No intensive care unit;
Very poor self sufficiency (58%);
Leaky roof;
Aged infrastructure; and,
Caps on maternity births for safety (1000 p/a).
Not building a new West Gippsland Hospital will result in increased pressures on other neighbouring health services including Latrobe Regional Health (LRH) located over 40 minutes away.
We need action now to ensure that infrastructure appropriately supports our existing and future community’s requirements.
The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly and all sides of politics commit to the funding and delivery of a new West Gippsland Hospital.
By Mr BLACKWOOD (Narracan) (2843 signatures).
