Northern Hospital

 Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:51): In addition to the new facilities at the Mernda Community Hospital, there are also major upgrades underway at the Northern Hospital in Epping. The Northern Hospital expansion is well and truly underway, with the new upgrades to the emergency department adding an additional 200 treatment spaces capable of supporting an additional 30,000 emergency patients annually. The new buildings will also include a paediatric emergency centre, an inpatient unit and other treatment hubs dedicated to catering to our community. It was great to visit the site to see the works going on. These are just some of the fantastic ways that we are making sure that health care is close to where people live, affordable and accessible.
