Mersey deal welcome, Labor to study detail
• End of uncertainty welcomed by Labor
• State Government must support all of our hospitals
• Devil will be in long-term details of Liberal deal
Labor Leader Rebecca White has welcomed the end of uncertainty for staff and patients at the Mersey Hospital.
Labor will carefully examine the detail of the new funding deal.
“Until we understand exactly how much money will be available, after interest is factored in, we won’t know how this deal will keep pace with the rising costs of healthcare,” Ms White said.
“A deal for the Mersey is certainly welcome but we need a State Government committed to providing appropriate funding and support for all of our hospitals.”
