"We are currently undertaking a major redevelopment project that will deliver a range of new facilities and services to the community and it is paramount that as we grow physically that we continue to deliver excellent care to our patients.

"The recent results have been extremely encouraging for the team given our redevelopment and the challenges that we have been working through during the past year and is testament to their commitment and focus on delivering excellent patient care at all times.

“It was consistent in the comments received from patients just how much they appreciate the support and professionalism of our caregivers. This is a great compliment to all our caregivers,” he said.
