The Hodgman Liberal Government is fixing the broken health system and just yesterday an important milestone in rescuing the Royal Hobart Hospital was reached with the start of construction of the temporary forecourt facility.
The forecourt is now a construction zone with hoardings in place so that works can get underway.
Hospitals can be stressful and scary places for patients, especially if you are a child facing serious health challenges. To brighten the surroundings and help distract young patients the Royal Hobart Hospital conducted an art project involving children and families at the hospital.
Today I was very pleased to inspect the artwork which will be placed on hoardings and present certificates to those who had participated.
The creative artworks will help make the hospital a nicer place during construction and highlight the artistic skill of the young participants.
I wish to thank the children who are contributing to the rescued Royal redevelopment.
Michael Ferguson, Minister for Health
