After 12 years of delays and broken promises by the former Liberal Government, work is finally underway to deliver the $260 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital (ERH) as a Level 4 health facility for the whole region.
For too long we have not had access to the higher-level of care and world class treatment we deserve.
That is why the Minns Labor Government is working to deliver a new hospital that will have:
- A modernised and enhanced emergency department;
- The first Intensive Care Unit in the Eurobodalla Shire;
- An eight bed Intensive Care/Close Observation Unit;
- Increased capacity for chemotherapy;
- Surgical and operating theatres;
- Expanded medical imaging, including MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging);
- Ambulatory care for community outpatient services;
- Paediatric and maternity services - including inpatient beds;
- Mental health beds for short term admissions; and
- Enhanced education and training facilities.
Only a level 4 Regional Hospital will attract a world class, specialist workforce equipped with the resources our community deserves.
I have fought to ensure that:
- The Batemans Bay Emergency Department will remain open until the ERH is operational;
- We secured a $20 million investment for the Batemans Bay Community
Health Service including allied health, child women and family services, and primary and mental health care; - NSW Ambulance will continue to provide efficient transport in the
Eurobodalla, including frequent transport to Moruya hospital from Batemans Bay for cases that cannot be managed by the Level 2 Batemans Bay Emergency Department; and - The ERH will also be complemented by the new Medicare Urgent Care Centre located at the existing Batemans Bay Hospital.
I have dedicated over two decades helping people across the Bega and Eurobodalla Shires.
I know that a regional Level 4 Hospital will save lives and allow more people to receive critical care closer to home.
As your State Member of Parliament, I am always here to assist you. Please do not hesitate to contact me at my office if there is anything I can do.
Yours sincerely,
