Southern NSW LHD Chief Executive Margaret Bennett said the sessions will provide an opportunity to hear directly from the District about new models of care for the region, and an update from the project team on the EHSP. “It will be a great opportunity for people in our community to get an understanding of what we have planned and how it will support the region’s health care needs, and to encourage our community to ask questions about the health services planned for our region,” said Ms Bennett.

The new health facility at Moruya will provide an overall increase in bed and service capacity than both Moruya and Batemans Bay hospitals currently combined and will be designed with the capacity to grow as demand for health services changes in the future.

Once completed the new hospital will deliver high-quality contemporary and accessible care and feature a new emergency department, critical care services, operating theatres, a day stay surgical unit, ambulatory care services, increased capacity for chemotherapy and, paediatrics and maternity, as well as education facilities.
