Rehab unit is 'on schedule'

Roofing has been completed on two of the new buildings for the new Rehabilitation Unit at Woy Woy Hospital and construction is on schedule, according to site manager Mr Malcolm Dorn.

Structural steel for the remaining wards will now be erected.

In addition, work is well advanced on the covered walkway which will link the new unit with the main hospital.

Woy Woy Hospital Alliance chairman Mr Ivan Kinny said the Alliance, which initiated the campaign for this development in late 2008, continues to follow its progress with great pleasure and satisfaction.

"Members have expressed a wish that one of the two wards be named after the late Mr Brian Neville, the last patient in the former closed unit, a double amputee and a popular and indefatigable worker for the new development," he said.
