NEWS $75m hospital redevelopment plan to boost health care in Peel Need: An artist’s impression of the renovated and expanded Peel Health campus. Health Minister Kim Hames should approve the proposed $75 million redevelopment at Peel Health Campus as soon as possible, the President of the Australian Medical Association (WA) Dr Richard Choong said. “This proposal offers a vital improvement to health services in the southern corridor and Mr Hames must ensure that there are no roadblocks placed in its way,” Dr Choong added. Health Solutions (WA), the private company that operates Peel Health Campus (PHC) has committed to expanding the entire Mandurah-based hospital and to fully funding the $75 million redevelopment project. Dr Choong said the Health Minister had personal knowledge of the impact a fast-growing population in the Peel area was having on health services in the area. “As a local MP, Mr Hames knows full well that this proposal by Health Solutions (WA) is one of the best ways to boost health services in the area. “This project, which includes a complete renovation and expansion of the existing public hospital and emergency department along with the construction of a new hospital to include 86 beds, is just what is needed in the area as soon as possible.” “With a growing population and an ageing one as well, this expansion is not only welcome but will go a long way to solving capacity issues in the area,” Dr Choong said. PHC Director of Clinical Services, Dr Aled Williams said: “PHC has experienced an unprecedented increase in patient demand during the past five years, particularly in its emergency department and with the number of overnight hospital stays.” Additionally, the pressure on operating theatre space and obstetric beds has continued to rise. “If the current growth rate continues, the Hospital in its current state will be unable to cope with patient demand by 2014/2015,” Dr Williams warned. HSWA is ready to commence its redevelopment and expansion project immediately, subject to government approval. PHC is currently a 130-bed hospital with a 22-bed emergency department.
