Frankston Hospital

Paul EDBROOKE (Frankston) (19:13): (528) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Health, and the action I seek is for the minister to come and visit the Frankston Hospital redevelopment. The $1 billion Frankston Hospital redevelopment is progressing very well, at a very fast pace, and when completed it will be the largest hospital redevelopment outside of the Melbourne CBD. The Frankston community deserves facilities that are flexible and can meet the changing needs of the community for decades to come and a hospital that is accessible, welcoming and inclusive. That is what we are delivering. There are boots on the ground, and there are cranes in the sky that you can see from the city at night.

Once the redevelopment is complete it will create a range of new employment opportunities in the healthcare sector, meaning more jobs for doctors, nurses and support staff. I would love to invite the minister down to visit Frankston to view the progress of this absolutely amazing facility, which is employing a ton of people at the moment.
