HOSPITAL BOAST
■ Bayswater MLA Jackson Taylor boasted in State Parliament about the state of hospitals in the eastern suburbs. “The outer east deserves nothing less than world-class health care close to home, so alongside the new public aged care facility in Wantirna and our expansion of the Angliss beginning this year – major construction – the rebuild of Maroondah will mean that our community have access to all the care they need close to home. “My constituency question is to the Minister for Health Infrastructure: what are the next steps for the promise we made to rebuild Maroondah Hospital – the new Queen Elizabeth II – from the ground up? “We promised a Labor Government would invest up to $1.05 billion in the new hospital, and that is exactly what we are going to do. “The new hospital will include a new emergency department, new operating theatres, day procedure facilities, specialist care spaces and a new mental health hub.
