St George Private Hospital

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, it is an honour as a local Member of Parliament to promote the fantastic health facilities that we have readily available throughout the St George area. In October last year, St George Private Hospital opened their $26 million day oncology centre which provides a state of the art cancer treatment centre for our local community. The new centre is six times the size of the previous facility allowing 35 to 45 patients to access treatment every single day. Chief Executive of St George Hospital, Peter Ridley, has done an outstanding job at getting this centre open and it is has been highly anticipated for a number of years. The nature theme throughout the facility makes patients feel more at ease and the larger floor plan allows them to have more personal space and more room for loved ones. This is an outstanding development and I look forward to hearing all the positive stories and great feedback on the precinct. Well done to the entire team at St George Private Hospital.
