New and expanded critical care services at Concord Hospital will be delivered as part of a further $260 million investment by the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the funding commitment is on top of the $341 million the NSW Liberal and Nationals have already invested delivering stage one of the hospital redevelopment.
“Concord Hospital has a such a rich history and is not only much loved by those in the inner west but also by our Defence Force personnel and veterans,” Mr Perrottet said.
“In my first Budget as Treasurer, I had the pleasure of announcing the $341 million upgrade to Concord and now as Premier, I am happy to say we are offering more funding for stage two.”
“Where Labor failed the Concord community, we promised and delivered a magnificent world-class facility, and stage two will further transform this iconic hospital campus and further boost healthcare services.
“Critical investments in health infrastructure, like this one at Concord Hospital, are only possible thanks to the Liberal and Nationals long-term economic plan to keep our state moving forward.”
Under a re-elected NSW Liberal and Nationals Government Stage 2A will deliver:
A new and expanded Emergency Department
An additional 24 bed inpatient ward
An expanded Intensive Care Unit
Expanded Cardiology Investigation Unit
Refurbishment of the existing ICU for the new operating theatres.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard said a significant amount of clinical service planning has already been done by the Sydney Local Health District for the proposed expansion.
“Once planning has been finalised for the site, a new building will link to the clinical services building, which itself was only opened less than a year ago,” Mr Hazzard said.
“In addition to delivering an expanded new emergency department, inpatient and critical care services, the redevelopment will also deliver hundeds of building jobs.”
Once planning has been finalised for the site it is anticipated that early works will commence in early to mid-2024 Since 2011, the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government has delivered more than 180 health capital works projects across NSW, with more than 130 projects currently underway.
