There are concerns a trend plaguing Sydney Hospitals may soon reach our doorstep, with the possible privatisation of the new Lower Hunter Maitland Hospital.
The Metford development is set to become the main health facility servicing the Maitland region, as well as zones of Port Stephens and Raymond Terrace.
The Nurses and Midwives Association are demanding
assurances the facility will not be privatised, amid concerns it may
meet the same fate as Port Macquarie Base Hospital, which had to be
bought back from a private company.
