The Penrith and Blue Mountains communities will soon see the second stage of the $1 billion expansion and upgrade of Nepean Hospital underway, with a main works contractor now appointed.
\u00a0
Minister for Health Brad Hazzard today announced CPB Contractors will construct the hospital\u2019s second clinical services building, to deliver additional first class healthcare services in Western Sydney for future generations.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cThe NSW Government is delivering a second state-of-the-art clinical services building for the upgraded Nepean Hospital, which will seamlessly connect with the first tower we opened earlier this year. This incredible expansion of Nepean Hospital will provide the very best healthcare for the Penrith and Blue Mountains communities,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.
\u00a0
The new clinical services building includes an intensive care unit, in-centre renal dialysis unit, medical imaging and nuclear medicine services, more in-patient units, and a large and welcoming front-of-house for the hospital.
\u00a0
Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres said Stage 2 of the Nepean Hospital redevelopment will also provide better community-based healthcare in Penrith to benefit local families and young people for years to come.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cIn addition to a second state-of-the-art clinical services building we\u2019re delivering a community health centre in Soper Place, right in the heart of Penrith, where locals can easily access integrated health care and mental health services for families and young people at home and in the community,\u201d Mr Ayres said.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cWith both the consultation and designs currently underway, I encourage everyone to have a say in shaping their new community health centre by completing the\u00a0online survey\u00a0which is open now.\u201d
\u00a0
The redevelopment\u00a0 team has been focused on Stage 2 enabling works which include\u00a0relocating<\/a>\u00a0some services, repurposing some of the existing infrastructure, and delivering an expanded pathology service on the ground floor of Building E.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
Member for Mulgoa, Tanya Davies said Stage 2 construction would ramp up early next year.
\u00a0
\u201cThe Nepean Hospital campus is buzzing with activity as we prepare the campus for main works in 2023 for the second new clinical services building, creating more job opportunities and ensuring better health outcomes for local people,\u201d Ms Davies said.
\u00a0
\u201cThe next stage of this major redevelopment builds on the enhanced services and health facilities now available in the hospital\u2019s new clinical tower to provide our region with more high-quality healthcare, making it an even more appealing place to work and live.\u201d
\u00a0
Stage 1 of the redevelopment included a new clinical building that opened in 2022 featuring an emergency department, 18 birthing suites, a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, 16 operating theatres and more than 200 beds, in contemporary and bright in-patient units.\u00a0The Stage 1 tower also provides coronary care services and an additional inpatient unit floor, which were fast-tracked from Stage 2 funding.
\u00a0
The NSW Government is investing a record $11.9 billion in health infrastructure over the four years to 2025-26. Since 2011, the NSW Government has delivered more than 180 health capital projects across NSW, with more than 130 projects currently underway.
