Trigg House Construction of Ward 6 began, transforming it into a 19 bed surgical unit. This refurbishment is a key step in the staging plan to clear the footprint for the future hospital. The new surgical unit is scheduled for completion in October 2024. Other changes include the use of the mobile CT scanner from Heart of Australia, while the current machine is being replaced. It has been stationed outside the emergency department for use from 22 – 30 July. Personnel are on hand to assist patients and visitors with accessing the emergency department, while the internal road is blocked by the mobile CT’s placement. “I understand that this is a lot of change and I appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this phase of the redevelopment,” Harpreet said.

Additional Funding On Tuesday 11 June, Health Minister Ryan Park visited Ryde Hospital to announce that the NSW Government will invest a further $47.8 million in the upgraded Ryde Hospital, bringing the total investment in the Ryde Hospital redevelopment to $526.8 million. This announcement reflects the increased cost of construction since the project was announced in 2019. The additional funds committed will enable us to deliver the redevelopment as planned without compromise. This is an excellent outcome to provide residents with the safest and high-quality health care service they deserve to improve their wellbeing.
