Time to rally over hospital

What are the thousands of people living on the Woy Woy Peninsula thinking about, allowing the Governments and Health Services to take away our 30 rehabilitation beds from the Woy Woy Hospital?

They are treating us like second-rate citizens and we are allowing it, instead of rallying together and protesting against this injustice.

Many interested citizens have been fighting for three years to have this facility restored to its rightful place.

It had served us for 40 years, so how can anyone truthfully say it is better being at Kanwal?

We need more dedicated residents to support us who are getting worn out with this battle, not only to get the rehab beds back but to get a fully acute hospital on the Woy Woy Peninsula to serve the surrounding areas.

More and more people are settling here yet we are getting important facilities removed.

This rehab centre was an essential part of healing progress and not only for the elderly.

From the very young to the aged, all were covered.
