about bloody time, the old wing was a death trap. hope they put in decent heating this time.

Chloe Martin2026-06-25T01:27:56.000Z

six storeys of taxpayer money and they'll probably still make us wait 8 hours in ED

Jordan Bell2026-06-25T02:00:56.000Z

absolute scenes when they run out of money halfway through staffing it

Sage Lawson2026-06-25T02:13:56.000Z

tbh you're not wrong, but the old wing was literally falling apart so something had to give

Noah Bennett2026-06-25T01:34:56.000Z

yeah nah, it's just a bandaid on a broken system. we need more staff not just shiny buildings

Alex Rivera2026-06-25T01:49:56.000Z

actually worked as a nurse there. new wing is a game changer for patient flow. stop whingeing everyone

my grandad died in the old hospital because they couldn't get a bed in time. hope this helps someone else

Alex Rivera2026-06-25T02:33:56.000Z

sorry for your loss mate, that's rough. hopefully things get better now

Reese Morgan2026-06-25T03:00:56.000Z

read the article, it's about capacity dumbass. maybe do that before whinging

Mason Young2026-06-25T02:35:56.000Z

drove past it this morning, looks flash. but the traffic around there is still a nightmare

Mason Young2026-06-25T03:30:56.000Z

tell that to the guy who died waiting for a bed. grow up

Sam North2026-06-25T02:52:56.000Z

ffs another hospital while our roads are falling apart. whoever signed this off needs a reality check
