Cobram District Health
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:38): Cobram District Health is desperate for a major upgrade and the local community, who have been very patient, need a plan – a master plan that will give confidence and encouragement to all the magnificent staff that work there and to all those who use the Cobram hospital. The Victorian government needs to look beyond Melbourne at this coming budget and commit to the master plan that is so desperately needed. The Victorian government needs to commit to investment in health for the Bright community. This iconic town that continues to grow and is the centrepiece for tourism in the north-east is crying out for investment. It simply is unacceptable that residents of Bright continue to be short-changed for their health needs. I call on the Victorian government to look beyond the tram tracks in this year’s budget and commit to investing in the healthcare and aged care needs of Bright.
