MAROONDAH: Petition for Hospital
Croydon MLA David Hodgett (pictured) presented a petition to Parliament, bearing 140 signatures, draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly community support for the State Government to rebuild Maroondah Hospital to address its dated infrastructure and inadequate facilities.
“Maroondah Hospital is a very busy hospital, that is under extreme pressure to cater to patients from all over the eastern suburbs,” the petition said.
“They lack the up-to-date facilities, which have been promised over the past two election periods by the State Government and deserve to be supported completely.
“The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly call on the Victorian Government to fulfill their election promises of 2018 and 2022 and finally deliver on the $1.05 billion promise given to our community, by rebuilding Maroondah Hospital from the ground up.
“Funding needs to be allocated in the 2025-26 State Budget so that the rebuild can start soon – not in 10 years’ time,” the petition said.
