Petitions

Cobram health services

Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) presented a petition bearing 1254 signatures:

Issue:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the current lack of kidney dialysis facilities at Cobram Hospital, and the requirement for residents requiring dialysis to travel over an hour to a neighbouring town multiple times a week.

Action:

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly call on the Minister for Health to require that the Department of Health fund and implement adequate dialysis facilities at Cobram in order to alleviate the cost to residents and reduce the extensive travel time required.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
