St George Hospital

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (19:42):Recently I had the opportunity to inspect progress on the construction of the new birthing suite at St George Hospital—how exciting! The new facilities funded by the State Government will include fit-for-purpose birthing rooms and refurbished operating theatres. I had the pleasure of touring the hospital and viewing the progress of the work with members of St George Hospital staff, as well as those directly involved in the construction. These refurbishments will open up more space in the hospital and assist staff in facilitating the excellent work and care they provide to patients.These works come as a much-needed facelift to the hospital's current birthing suite, which was built in 1972 and last upgraded in 1991, and will provide state-of-the-art technology to the residents of the St George area. I am excited to see the completed facilities and I welcome the State Government's continued commitment to improving health care in New South Wales, particularly in St George Hospital.
