Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Health Minister Brad Hazzard have officially opened two new surgical theatres at Concord Hospital as construction ramps up on the facility\u2019s $341 million transformation.
\nMs Berejiklian, Mr Hazzard, and Minister for Veterans and Member for Drummoyne John Sidoti, marked the completion of enabling works for the rebuild, which will deliver 100 additional beds and world-class cancer, aged care and rehabilitation services.
\n\u201cConcord Hospital has served both the local community and the men and women of the defence force for decades, and we owe this institution a great debt of gratitude,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cWe are continuing this hospital\u2019s proud legacy by funding its transformation into Australia\u2019s first comprehensive care centre for Defence Force personnel and their families.
\n\u201cHealth services are also being massively boosted for the local community with the Government\u2019s delivery of a new cancer centre, rehab and aged care facility, and enhanced ambulatory services.\u201d
\nThe 214-bed Clinical Services Building will boost the hospital campus capacity to more than 650 beds.
\nMr Hazzard said a further $1.3 million has been invested into refurbishing two theatres, making them fully digitally integrated \u2013 allowing doctors to communicate between theatres.
\n\u201cConcord Hospital\u2019s excellent medical teams will save valuable time during emergency surgery with the significant upgrading of these two state-of-the-art theatres, further improving patient care,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.
\n\u201cThis redevelopment is indeed a game-changer for patients in Sydney\u2019s inner-west communities, with the new \u00a0Rusty Priest Centre for Rehabilitation and Aged Care.\u201d
\nMr Sidoti said the Government was proud to be delivering Australia\u2019s first National Centre for Veterans\u2019 Healthcare, recently opened in temporary premises at Concord Hospital. \u201cThis incredible, specialist centre is a one-stop-shop and continues Concord Hospital\u2019s unique and proud history of supporting veterans,\u201d Mr Sidoti said.
\nThe NSW Government is spending a record $10.1 billion over four years to invest in the state\u2019s health infrastructure.
