LABOR CUTTING BAYSIDE HOSPITAL BEDS.
Sandringham Hospital, a health hub for our community, has been forced to close eight hospital beds. The Brad Rowswell MP - Member for Sandringham has rightly slammed the bed closures, saying Bayside is growing and already short on modern infrastructure and services. The State Labor Government has viciously refused to save vital health services our community needs.
Alfred Health confirmed bed closures at Sandringham
Bed closures at Sandringham Hospital could mean a drop in patient care standards, a whistleblower has claimed.James are they cutting Doctors and Nurses as well? What's the logic behind this?
This is crazy
Horrific ,!
Disgraceful! Yet they all get pay rises!!!!
Muppets they waste money on ego driven projects and the sick tax payer gets a raw deal
With the increasing number of apartments being built in Bayside and therefore the increase in population this makes no sense
Don’t forget James the liberals were at war with the paramedics back in 2014
It is a great hospital
You wouldn’t want to get ill !!! Absolutely Disgraceful, won’t get my vote next time. 😥😥
We need more beds not less!!!!!
Bayside isn't a red shirts strong hold. Done by waste money in areas that don't get you elected. Comrade Dan is more at home in China
They tried to close Sandy Hospital a few years ago- a wonderful facility
This is very sad. Have been in sandy hospital almost 10 times the past few years - always got in quickly but I notice the system is under more and more strain each time I go and packed with students which is great for learning but how the hospital staff keep up with training them and the huge increase in patients I’ll never know.
Jason Oldfield Litsa Kagioulis looks like it’ll be a shared room then 😞
Sad news for the community. Why please explain
Wow.. unbelievable ! Brilliant and caring and important hospital . Magnificent staff !! This is yet another pathetic move by those in power
It’s s great local Hospital. More beds needed and an urgent upgrade to keep it functioning.
Why is this cockheads posts constantly showing up on my feed
Can bet it’s backlash from a liberal government and not directly due to labour - you folk love to point blame and never accept anything yourselves, except money, of course.
This is so sad! We need more beds no less!😡
Hi James, thanks for your interest. Since the Sandringham Day Procedure Centre opened last year, more patients have been able to go home on the same day as their surgery. This means we often have empty surgical beds, so the change to bed numbers is actually to improve efficiency. For anyone who wants more info, visit bit.ly/33VpUKn

Earlier this week, almost two hundred people from Hampton met for a community meeting following the State Government’s closure of the Grenville Street Pedestrian Rail Crossing. On behalf of our community, I called on the Minister to immediately reopen the crossing and enhance safety at the site.
Brilliant speech, James. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the Hampton residents affected by the closure of this busy crossing.
Well done James!!

IN PARLIAMENT - CALL FOR STATE GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT ELSTERNWICK PARK.
Elsternwick Park Nature Reserve will be a place for the community, a place for wildlife and a place that could help mitigate the risk of flooding in Elwood. Despite the overwhelming need, the State Government hasn't committed a single dollar to this important environmental work.
How about some money for a fenced in dog area in that park?
Why should they give money for that debacle, it should have stayed as a golf course. I also understand after the golf course was lost etc and those dam greenies got their way state government announced that the land was always to be used for sport.
