 Tim RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (13:11): I also want to acknowledge the significant redevelopment of Frankston Hospital, now Peninsula University Hospital. This is a $1.1 billion investment in our community. For anyone in the Mordialloc electorate, you go to the points of the compass – you go to Frankston Hospital, you go to Sandringham, you go to Monash or you go to Dandenong if you need that support and care. With the helipad testing underway now, it has been an extraordinary journey to see the investment, the floors of patient care, the additional beds that will be provided, the support for mental health and wellbeing, the extra support of oncology. This is what Labor governments do – they invest in health, they support their health workers. We have had thousands of health workers added to Victoria since we came to government, and Frankston Hospital, now Peninsula University Hospital, will be amazing.
