Concord Hospital\u2019s $341 million redevelopment is on track for completion, with the eight-storey Clinical Services Building set to transform healthcare in the inner west.
\nHealth Minister Brad Hazzard and Member for Drummoyne John Sidoti visited the site for a traditional topping out ceremony to mark the building reaching its highest point.
\nMr Hazzard said the Clinical Services Building will have more than 200 inpatient beds, with just over 550 beds across the campus, an increase of more than 100 from previously.
\n\u201cThe NSW Government\u2019s $341 million commitment to Concord Hospital has created more than 700 construction jobs to build this modern, state-of-the-art facility,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.
\n\u201cNot only does it house the nation\u2019s first dedicated veterans\u2019 health service, a comprehensive cancer centre and an aged care centre, over two-thirds of the new inpatient beds in the new Clinical Services Building are in single rooms with daybeds for carers.\u201d
\nMr Sidoti said the National Centre for Veterans\u2019 Healthcare has been successfully operating as a pilot service since August last year.\u00a0 To date 128 people have been referred to the service and 54 have completed their care.
\n\u201cThis Centre is critical to our veteran community and continues Concord Hospital\u2019s proud 80-year history of supporting veterans and their families,\u201d Mr Sidoti said.
\nConcord Hospital\u2019s new Clinical Services Building will include:<\/p>\n
Construction of a new $32.4 million multistorey car park will begin following the completion of the Clinical Services Building expected in late 2021.
\nThe NSW Government also spent $1.3 million in 2019 refurbishing two theatres at Concord Hospital that are now fully digitally integrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
