Money won't go to hospital

Despite what Cr Freewater might claim, the opening or conversion of Woy Woy Hospital will just not occur.

Having worked in health for over 25 years, I know that the Government will not spend the required money to provide the correct and appropriate services to the standard required to provide appropriate care.

Woy Woy is used to care for patients who are "an overflow" from Gosford which are terminal or low acuity.

The Health System is in a real mess with too many chiefs and not enough indians.

When money is poured in at the top, that's where it stays.

Very little is used to improve frontline services and rather it stays at the top and is used to build empires.
