NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri said the transition to NSW Health recognised the dedication of hospital staff, the work of teams across the district and the significance of the moment for the Northern Beaches community. “The transition marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Northern Beaches Hospital and the local community,” he said. “While the uniforms have changed and some signs have been replaced, it is still the same highly skilled and compassionate staff proudly providing the highest quality care to the community. “I want to thank the 2000-plus staff who have cared for patients since the hospital opened in 2018, as well as the district teams who have supported this transition. “This is a very important milestone for our district, and we are delighted to have Northern Beaches Hospital join our respected health services.” You can find out more about Northern Beaches Hospital and the services available here: https://bit.ly/Northern-Beaches- Hospital
NSW Premier Chris Minns, NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey MLC and NSW Minister for Health Ryan Park visited the hospital to celebrate the first day of the transition. They were joined by Member for Pittwater Jackie Scruby, Member for Wakehurst Michael Regan and NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce AM. The group met with staff, patients and the hospital’s leadership team to acknowledge the significant work that has gone into reaching the milestone. Staff across the hospital received special NSW Government branded cupcakes that were handed out by the hospital’s senior leadership team. In the lead-up to the transition and the days that followed, a dedicated Northern Beaches Hospital Transition Team supported staff, while a live command centre operated around the clock for several days to help ensure a safe transition for patients and staff.
