Is Re-development Of The Current Base Hospital Site The Right Outcome.....................Asks McGirr

NSW leading independent candidate, Dr Joe McGirr, today promised, if elected he would instigate wide consultation with the electorate on the future of the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, including the potential of a greenfield development of the facility.
Dr McGirr said that while door knocking and meeting with the community he was picking up on widespread concern about the staged development on the current site.
“People are concerned that work on the current site will mean insur- mountable traffic and parking problems.”
Dr McGirr said “The fundamental areas of concern were based not only on the cost of the redevelopment of the current site, but disturbances caused during construction, and the whole project getting bogged down in stages that may not see an end result for years.”
“Clearly if a Coalition Government gets into power, their seed capital offer of $125 Million simply guarantees a staged process that can be stopped at any moment” said Dr McGirr.
Neither the Coalition or Labour are listening to the electorate and according to Dr McGirr and that very simply is why the community no longer believes any figure that is put forward. “This community wants a fully renovated or greenfield site built hospital (if that is the preferred option) now. Either way the electorate wants it completed within the next four years” said Dr McGirr
