Labor Candidate for Paterson Meryl Swanson and State Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington have promised that Tomaree Community Hospital will receive $1 million for an X-Ray machine under a Shorten Labor Government.
This new X-Ray machine is expected to relieve stress on a range of emergency services including patient transport, ambulances and the John Hunter Hospital.
Meryl Swanson says the machine will be a vital addition to the Tomaree Peninsula, as the lack of access to basic health services is becoming increasingly dire.
"To think that an area like that, that has an ageing and growing population, we've got young people playing sport and they don't even have the capacity to get an X-Ray in their emergency department," says Ms Swanson.
"It's not good enough."
