My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, will you agree to join me and personally visit the Port Macquarie Base Hospital for the following four outcomes: (1) to gain a major regional teaching hospital’s perspective on your health reform package and to see how the three towns of Kempsey, Wauchope and Port Macquarie are developing a ‘one hospital on three sites’ response to the growing health demands within our nation; (2) to consider the specific infrastructure needs around the hospital’s emergency department and intensive care unit that is operating at double its maximum capacity on a daily basis; (3) to explore opportunities to expand our cancer services with the already announced but yet to be allocated money from this year’s health budget; and (4) to explore a proposal by the local division of GPs to establish a GP superclinic or equivalent as close as possible to the overstretched emergency department at the hospital?
