Too much to ask?

Would it be too much to hope for, that politicians ask the people of the Peninsula their opinion of the alteration of the Woy Woy Hospital?

Perhaps even deign to let us into the secret of what "they" intend to do with this building?

So many rumours abound that it may come as a relief to actually be told the truth.

Our little hospital has been so useful over the years, certainly the emergency section.

I'm not sure if the politicians have noticed that the population has increased tremendously.

To suggest that people in their 70s and 80s be trundled off to Wyong is not only ridiculous but highly impractical as that area has also increased tremendously.

What makes the politicians think that Wyong Hospital will be able to cope with more patients?

I don't think it will, so where does that leave the people of the Peninsula?
