Adjournment
Casey Hospital
Casey Hospital
Belinda WILSON (Narre Warren North) (19:16): (148) My adjournment matter is directed to the Minister for Health in regard to the Casey Hospital in Berwick, and the action that I seek is for the minister to come to visit the hospital for a tour. In the 2022–23 budget it was announced that the Andrews Labor government will redevelop and expand the emergency department at Casey Hospital. This follows from a major expansion of the hospital that was completed in 2020 to meet the soaring demand for health care in the outer south-east. I know people in my electorate are excited to see these upgrades delivered, and alongside the major redevelopment of Dandenong Hospital it will provide world-class health care for residents in Narre Warren North. So I invite the minister to come and visit Casey Hospital, to tour the site and to provide an update on the investment in health care in the south-east.
