first look inside hospital’s new support services building With the infrastructure program at Mona Vale Hospital moving ahead, staff were given the chance to inspect progress on the latest works – the new support services building. Construction began last year and has been progressing quickly, with dozens of builders involved. Hospital General Manager Jacqui Edgley said the large building will house new kitchens along with facilities for laundry, cleaning, waste, staff and engineering services. “Staff were pleased to see inside the building where the works are reaching the final stages,” Jacqui said. “The inspection gave us a clear picture of what the new facilities will be like and how these areas will support the operation of the hospital. “It’s great to see the last stage of works underway with the builders installing electrical fittings, applying the final coats of paint and fitting-out new kitchen cabinetry and shelving,” Jacqui said. External works, including preparations for paving, are also underway. The construction is on track to be completed within weeks, with staff to move into the new building next month. The support services building is part of a broader program of works establishing more modern, purpose-built facilities at Mona Vale Hospital.
