Executive Summary
Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District has been allocated $1.2 billion by the New
South Wales government. The money will be applied to redevelop Nepean Hospital so as
to enable it to continue to maintain its status as an outstanding referral and a teaching
hospital in the region. The locality of the health facility is a fast growing area whose
population is putting pressure on the hospital’s ability to provide quality health service
to its residents.
The NSW grant will fund the redevelopment of the facility in two stages. Stage one will
include the creation of more space at the cancer centre and the purchase of 15 additional
chemotherapy seats.
The demand for oncology service has steeply risen in recent years and the coming
expansion is intended to meet that demand. At the moment the number of patients lined
up for chemotherapy is large and it is expected that the arrival of the extra seats will
reduce the queue.
When the project is completed the cancer care centre will be able to break even and
make profits.
