1587 - Health - WAGGA WAGGA RURAL REFERRAL HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT

Mookhey, Daniel to the Minister for Primary Industries, Minister for Regional Water, Minister for Trade and Industry representing the Minister for Health, and Minister for Medical Research

Why was a hydrotherapy pool not included as part of the Wagga Wagga Rural Referral Hospital redevelopment?

Answer -

The service need for a hydrotherapy service at the Wagga Wagga Rural Referral Hospital was not supported by an assessment of the role of the therapy in contemporary rehabilitation models of care, and levels of utilisation for treatment purposes.

Murrumbidgee Local Health District has a service agreement for consumers to access hydrotherapy services at the new Calvary Riverina Private Hospital pool which was completed in 2016.
