Hospital ‘must stay’

TWEED Mayor Katie Milne is pleading with the NSW Government to reconsider relocating the hospital south and instead expand the current Tweed Hospital site.

Cr Milne said she couldn’t understand why the State Government hadn’t worked harder to maintain the current Tweed Heads site. “My biggest concern is the Tweed Heads residents, hundreds and hundreds of Tweed Heads residents have moved into the area to be close to the hospital in their senior years,” she said.

The Tweed Daily News is hosting a community forum on the hospital issue on Monday, June 18, at Tweed Heads Civic Centre Auditorium from 5-7pm. NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard will be among the panellists at the meeting.
