Message from the Chief Executive
Welcome Boost to Local Health Budget
Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS) today welcomed the injection of an extra $32.4 million into the region’s health budget for 2008-2009. This is part of a $569.1 million investment by the State Government to deliver better services and improve health infrastructure.
GSAHS will utilise the additional funding to progress planning for two major capital works projects in Wagga Wagga and Bega and provide more beds, more doctors and nurses and expanded community health services. A range of enhancements are planned, including:
-
three new acute care beds at Wagga Wagga;
-
recruitment of an additional allied health professionals, clinical nurse educators and nursing staff;
-
a share of 23 community-based care places across GSAHS as part of a statewide program to support people in their home and avoid the need for hospital admission and
-
purchase of vital hospital equipment such as blood pressure machines, ECG machines and lifting equipment.
Communities across the region can be assured that the future of their health services is secured and can expect the continued commitment by the Area Health Service to improving the quality, standard of care and access to services.
