Our plea for help

By Nicole Ferrie

Bendigo Health's plea to Minister

"The waiting room is revolting"
"We now need a new facility to cope"
"This department can’t survive that long, it’s simply not possible"
"There is a lot of pressure on the beds here"

Dear Health Minister,
This is what Bendigo Health
senior staff and the local community are saying about our hospital.
On behalf of those people, we are asking you to use today’s visit as a chance to see first-hand the dated, cramped and revolting conditions patients and staff struggle with daily.
We urge you to take this message back to cabinet and make the much-needed redevelopment a priority in the May budget.
