2283 - PAEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AT JOHN HUNTER HOSPITAL

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Health and Medical Research

Considering $14.9 million of funding was provided to Hunter New England Local Health District for the construction of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at John Hunter Hospital, and the design overlooked the installation of appropriate bathroom facilities for parents or carers of patients in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, will the Minister fund the installation of a shower and toilet facility, like the one that exists in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit?

 

Answer -

The four-bed Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at John Hunter Hospital provides emergency accommodation rooms, each with their own ensuite that includes a shower.

Families also have access to Children's Hospital's Ronald McDonald Family Room, which has a bathroom with shower.
