Modbury Hospital

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:20): Further supplementary: what additional support would be needed to be added to the current Modbury Hospital site to allow a high dependency unit to be reinstated safely?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:20): There will be both capital and resources. Let's remember that one of the problems highlighted by Dr Berston in his review of the former Labor government's high dependency unit on that site was a lack of resourcing by the former government. On the scepticism of the Labor Party on the viability of an HDU, you have to ask yourselves: how did we managed to have an HDU there until early 2016?
