Petitions

Maroondah Hospital

David HODGETT (Croydon) presented a petition bearing 151 signatures:

Issue: 

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly community support for the Victorian 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. They lack the up-to-date facilities, which have been promised over the past two election periods by the Victorian Government and deserve to be supported completely.

Action:

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 2025/2026 State Budget so that the rebuild can start soon – not in ten years’ time.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
