Keep the hospital open

So many people here on the Peninsula are objecting to any alteration to the Woy Woy Hospital that I'm hoping you are going on reporting the dissention among the very many residents.

I can't help wondering if those who designed the Wyong Hospital regretted it.

Why else would certain people try to encourage patients to go all the way there instead of the much more convenient Woy Woy Hospital?

Wyong is stuck on a piece of land which was no doubt cheap, away from the station, and special buses are needed to be able to access this out-of-the-way place.

How dictatorial can these people be who have been voted in by an unsuspecting population while all this secret negotiation was going to deprive the people in the Woy Woy area of the very facility that is most needed in this region.

As the hospital is right in the middle of this area, why should we be told to go all the way to Wyong for the treatment that has always been available here?

One can't help being cynical about such a deal.

Isn't it strange that so little information has been released and now people in charge say "Oh, it's a foregone conclusion"?

Surely this over-populated district can keep on rejecting the closure until the idea of selling the land to the developers becomes a grim prospect and sense returns to keep the hospital open for support and advice.
