Yea and District Memorial Hospital

Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) presented a petition bearing 461 signatures:

The petition of the people of Yea and District, the Shire of Murrindindi and of the State of Victoria, points out to the house that the current powers, authorities and responsibilities of the Yea and District Memorial Hospital Board of Directors have been under review by an “Expert Advisory Committee” reporting to the Victorian Department of Health. We support the list of concerns raised in our community, and in the ‘Yea Chronicle’, and request the Assembly to maintain the current powers, authorities and responsibilities of the Board of Directors. We respectfully remind the Parliament that our Board has managed our Hospital successfully since inception and that our Hospital was in large part funded by past local residents as a memorial to local men and women from Yea and surrounding districts who died in active service during World War 2.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
