The community is being given their first look at the new 30 bed inpatient unit planned for Blacktown Hospital, which will increase the hospital\u2019s capacity to support patients recovering from a range of urgent conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minns Labor Government is investing $120 million in the upgrade of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals to provide expanded and contemporary acute inpatient capacity. The project will include 60 additional beds across Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This additional 60 beds for Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals are part of the NSW Government\u2019s delivery of more than $3.4 billion in hospital infrastructure across western Sydney over the next four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The redevelopment at Blacktown Hospital will include a mix of fit-for-purpose rooms supporting recovery. The project will also include expanded clinical and non-clinical support service spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Staff, stakeholders and the community are invited to attend an information session at Blacktown Hospital to meet the project team and learn more: Further consultation, planning and design will continue throughout the year, with construction timeframes to be finalised as part of the overall planning and once a builder has been appointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Work to deliver the project will be carried out in stages to minimise disruption to clinical services, which will remain operational throughout the redevelopment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The $120 million upgrade of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals is being delivered by Health Infrastructure and Western Sydney Local Health District. Planning for the expanded Mount Druitt Hospital is progressing, which will include additional medical and surgical capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information visit: nsw.gov.au\/bmdh-additional-beds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2025-26 NSW Budget includes $1.3 billion of additional funding to support the delivery of health facilities across Western Sydney including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other projects in the Western Sydney region include upgrades at Nepean, Liverpool, Canterbury, Fairfield, Camden and Campbelltown hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister for Health, Ryan Park:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s great to see this major step forward in our $120 million investment into Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals, increasing inpatient capacity for our growing Western Sydney Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe project will boost access to a range of urgent and elective surgeries by creating space for patient recovery and the support needed before returning home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re also increasing inpatient capacity at Mount Druitt Hospital to reduce the need for patient transfers and further free up capacity at other Western Sydney hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Member for Blacktown, Stephen Bali:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Minns Labor Government is listening to community feedback by designing and building infrastructure to meet the health needs of Blacktown City\u2019s fast-growing population.
