Hospital redevelopment to be finished by December

The redevelopment of Brisbane Waters Private Hospital in Woy Woy is progressing well with the whole project expected to be completed by December, according to the hospital's general manager Ms Kathy Beverley.

Ms Beverley said the new hospital kitchen had been commissioned and was now fully operational.

"The old kitchen has been demolished and all our meals are now cooked on site from the new kitchen" Ms Beverley said.

"The new ward is on track with the form work just removed and they will be starting work on the internal construction and roof and we will be starting on the new hydrotherapy pool and other elements of the redevelopment," she said.

"All the old buildings have now been demolished and removed from the site and we are hoping the whole project will be completed by December," Ms Beverley said.

She added that the hospital had been expanding its mental health services with the recent appointment of a full-time psychologist and psychiatrist to treat both inpatients and day patients.
