New Legana Health Hub To Become A Reality Under Liberals
A much-needed boost to health care in the North will be made possible with a re-elected Tasmanian Liberal Government to invest in an Urgent Care Centre in Legana.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff announced that a re-elected Tasmanian Liberal Government will partner to deliver more health services, closer to home, with the Legana Health Hub.
“We are stepping in and getting more GP services closer to home,” the Premier said.
“Tasmanians deserve quality care wherever they are, and our Government has stepped up to get more GPs services right across the State.”
Discussions are also underway to provide co-located radiology services (CT/X-ray/USG), which will boost health services in the north and further relieve pressure on the Launceston General Hospital and our ambulance services.
“This comprehensive, multidisciplinary health precinct will support the growing communities across Legana, Riverside and the wider West Tamar region,” Premier Rockliff said.
“With more than 50 per cent of presentations to our emergency departments more appropriately assessed by a GP, providing more urgent care access ensures we can reduce pressure on our hospitals and provide care to those who need it sooner.
“Delivering an urgent care option in the West Tamar region will mean around 30,000 Tasmanians can get much more convenient health care, closer to home, and for free.
“We will work with Dr Reddy to deliver this service, and meet the health demands close to Tasmanians’ homes.”
Subject to achieving the necessary planning approvals, construction is expected to commence in the next 12 months.
This election comes down to one choice: a strong Liberal team with a real plan or another merry-go-round of chaos and compromise.
Let’s get on with it.
Let’s finish the job for Tasmania.
