The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government will redevelop Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital on a new site, to deliver comprehensive healthcare for south-western Sydney, including the latest in emergency medicine, surgical services and critical care.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian said this $1.3 billion investment was only possible because of the strong economic management of the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government.
\n\u201cWe have a strong track record when it comes to delivering health infrastructure, having already built or upgraded more than 100 hospitals and other health facilities across the State, with another 100 on the way,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\nThe redeveloped hospital will include enhanced emergency, critical care, medical and surgical services.\u00a0 There will also be expanded and integrated ambulatory care services, including cancer treatment and community health services.
\nHealth Minister Brad Hazzard said the redeveloped hospital would transform the delivery of healthcare in Bankstown and surrounding suburbs.
\n\u201cWe are committed to building new, and improving existing, hospitals and health facilities across the state. Since we were elected, the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government has invested nearly $10 billion in health infrastructure with another $8 billion committed over the next four years,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.
\nPlanning for the project, along with early works construction, will commence during the next term of government.
\nLiberal candidate for East Hills Wendy Lindsay said the redeveloped hospital would increase capacity for local communities, ensuring people can get the care they need close to home.
\n\u201cOnly a NSW Liberals & Nationals Government will ensure the local community gets a world-class hospital to meet its needs,\u201d Ms Lindsay said.
\nIn the immediate term, a $25 million expansion of the existing Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital emergency department is due be completed next year, to ensure the community is well served while the hospital is redeveloped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
