Extra $17.5M for GV Health
Additional funding to go toward making improvements By David Lee GV HEALTH will receive $185.543M as its financial year funding from the Andrews Labor Government, which is a $17.575M, or 10.5 percent, increase on last year’s funding. The additional $17.575M in funding is set
to be used to meet the increasing demand for mental health services in a timely manner. Surgical partnerships will be continued with other local health services to conduct elective surgery at their sites, helping to reduce the elective surgery waiting list, and
further ways to improve the flow through the emergency department will also be explored and implemented to ensure patients get the right care at the right time. Continued on page 18
