During a visit to the Tumut Hospital Auxiliary, I met with president Maureen Dowling and secretary Bernadette Walker and MLHD chief executive Jill Ludford to discuss the Tumut Hospital Redevelopment Master Plan.

I have to say there was some great feedback on the project, including the need to ensure the facility has:

• Appropriate storage

• Meeting facilities for the auxiliary

• Adequate parking

• A new helipad

• Excellent palliative care facility

There was also support for the collocation of a the promised ambulance facility.

I would like to thank the auxiliary for their work and support of the hospital.
