Northern Hospital
Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:40): While the Parliament was on winter recess I was busy out and about in my local electorate of Mill Park. In early July I visited the Northern Hospital’s emergency department and met with ED director Daniel Crompton to discuss the stage 2 upgrades that our Labor government is delivering. Of course it was terrific to hear how the hospital and its staff have stepped up to meet an increasing demand as that community in the outer north continues to grow and people choose it as a great place to build a home and raise a family. It was great to see that the virtual ED is also becoming an excellent way to triage patients more efficiently, meaning that there is more health care that goes to members of the community who seek support from the health services there.
