WESTERN District Health Service (WDHS) is calling for the State Government to fund a “long-awaited” revamp of Hamilton Hospital’s emergency and intensive care departments.

WDHS board chairman, Darren Barber hoped the State Government considered a “much-needed” $29 million upgrade of the hospital’s emergency department (ED), intensive care unit (ICU) and radiology areas, as part of the infrastructure projects announced to spearhead Victoria’s economic recovery in the coming months.
