The Great Lakes community and Manning Hospital are set to benefit from a $355,000 funding boost from the NSW Government that will deliver more inpatient rooms and a better equipped clinical care space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funding is part of the NSW Government\u2019s $12 million investment in 61 projects under the Regional Health Minor Works Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The planned works at Manning Hospital include $105,000 to transform a non-clinical area into a new clinically supported three bed inpatient accommodation unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A further $250,000 has been committed to relocate the Chronic Care Service from the Manning Hospital campus and to refurbish the existing Nita Reed building which will deliver high-quality rehabilitation services for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upgrade works at Manning Hospital are in addition to the $180 million Lower Mid North Coast Health Service Project which merges the Manning Hospital Redevelopment Stage 2 along with the planned investment towards public health services in Forster-Tuncurry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enabling works to prepare the site for construction of the Stage 2 Redevelopment have begun which will involve the demolition of the administration building and a number of surrounding buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
