Dear Mr Walker,
Thank you for your email regarding your recent correspondence and mediation with the Ministry of Health.
I note the correspondence states:
While there are a number of reports which detail issues present with the Mona Vale Hospital, such as the Arup building condition reports, the Ministry is aware that the applicant already has copies of these documents. The Ministry has nothing further to provide.
Reports would not usually include directives, as you say "requiring the demolition".
NSW Health Infrastructure, as part of the Ministry of Health, considers the suitability and functionality of health infrastructure throughout NSW —including infrastructure that is past its economic life and incurring considerable maintenance costs and/or is no longer suitable for contemporary medical use.
I support the continuing process by NSW Health Infrastructure to renew Mona Vale Hospital's infrastructure.
As you are aware, this essential process commenced in recent years and has included the construction of a new inpatient rehabilitation building, construction of a new community health service building, an extension to the palliative care outpatient building, restoration of the hospital's hydrotherapy pool building, introduction of additional on-campus car parking, construction of a new short stay unit and the refurbishment of the hospital's original assessment and rehabilitation building.
The introduction of further new hospital buildings will continue in coming months.
This will include the construction of another new inpatient hospital building to accommodate specialist palliative care and geriatric care.
A new building will also be constructed to accommodate various hospital support services, including kitchen and linen requirements.
Construction work will also commence to update the existing emergency unit building to accommodate 24/7 urgent care services, as well as other support services including medical imaging, pharmacy and pathology.
A new helipad will also be constructed in the north-eastern corner of the hospital's campus and planning is underway for the construction of a new ambulance station building.
Yours sincerely,
