After strong pressure by the Kiama community and advocacy by the Kiama Liberal candidate Serena Copley, Labor has been dragged kicking and screaming to guaranteeing the future of David Berry Hospital.

Shadow Minister for Health Kellie Sloane said that while the NSW Liberals had been committed to saving David Berry Hospital, the Labor Government had only agreed to keep delivering public health services at the Hospital because of the pending by-election.
\u00a0
\u201cWhen legislation was introduced into Parliament to protect David Berry Hospital, the Liberals supported it but Labor didn\u2019t,\u201d said Ms Sloane.
\u00a0
\u201cWe\u2019ve always wanted to safeguard David Berry Hospital\u2019s health services for the people of Berry.
\u00a0
\u201cThis community deserves quality healthcare delivered in the community, rather than being sold off by the Labor Government.
\u00a0
\u201cThis is how the Labor Government has been treating Kiama for the last two years, they\u2019ve been ignoring the community\u2019s needs and wishes \u2013 and are only paying attention now that there\u2019s a by-election.
\u00a0
\u201cKiama voters have a clear choice at this by-election, and Labor should not be rewarded for ignoring this community for two years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
