Not interested in excuses

I am actively involved in the fight for the return of our rehabilitation ward to Woy Woy Public Hospital.

I am not impressed with Member for Gosford Marie Andrews who when approached for help trotted out a couple NSW Health apologists, experienced in telling us this is what NSW Health are doing.

The problem I have with this sort of approach is my elected representatives are hiding behind public servants.

And none of them from the top down are listening to what we the people who pay are telling them we want.

Where does government get off asking elderly and retired people to prepare a feasibility report including costing to return our important medical amenity?

We want our ward back and we want it back now!

Don't come back with why we can't have it replaced.

I am not interested in mealy mouthed excuses.

I believe our public hospital is under direct threat of closure because of what the Federal Government is doing.

The Peninsula has 9000 people living here who are over 65 years of age, certainly many thousands more than were living here when our public hospital was first opened.
