Letter to the people of the electorate of Wagga Wagga from Dr McGirr - Thank You

I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the people of the Electorate of Wagga Wagga for supporting the hospital petition that was taken to Sydney last week.
The petition formally brings to the attention of the parliament the failure of "successive governments to fund the complete rebuilding of the now obsolete Wagga Wagga Base Hospital".
As a medical practitioner and candidate in next Saturday's election I, with others, was overwhelmed by such a generous and dedicated response.
Not only does your support send a clear message to Macquarie St but also gives consolation to the doctors, staff and patients who daily have to battle with the substandard conditions at the Base.
I felt great pride in playing a small part in jointly taking the sixteen thousand signatures entrusted to our small delegation to get the message through to Parliament House in Sydney last Friday.
I wish also to thank Matthew Hogg who put so much effort and hours into developing the petition's concept and to Ros Prangnell who accompanied us to Sydney.
This is a sterling result and builds positively on the many attempts previously made to attract attention to this issue.
This time we will not let this rest.
Your mandate to us is to pursue this issue until we succeed.
Sincerely
Dr Joe McGirr
