Noosa Hospital needs long-term lease

LNP candidate for Noosa Clare Stewart at Noosa Hospital

LNP Candidate for Noosa, Clare Stewart this week thanked Noosa MP Sandy Bolton for what she said was her honesty in admitting both she and the Miles Palaszczuk Government had failed to secure a long-term lease for Noosa’s Hospital.

“The facts in this matter are simple and straightforward ,” Ms Stewart said.

“A long-term lease between the hospital operators and the Labor government has been an ongoing issue since 2017.

“The hospital wants a long-term lease over their current site to ensure long-term investment to accommodate the needs of our community now and into the future.

“There is only six years left on the current lease between the hospital operators and Queensland Health.

“What we know is that the operators of the hospital are keen to invest in health services for Noosa, I am simply calling on the Labor government to deliver the certainty that residents deserve.

“Our community deserves outcomes, not excuses, and I’ll never apologise for standing up for Noosa.

“If we want tangible, long-term solutions to the local challenges we face, we need to change the government in October.

“If I am elected as a member of an LNP team, Noosa residents will have a seat at the table and a representative who can deliver the outcomes we need, instead of just being frustrated at the process of government.”
