Casey Hospital will benefit from a statewide funding boost for Victorian hospitals, says Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley.
Monash Health, which manages Casey and Dandenong hospitals and Monash Medical Centre, will receive $1.324 billion in 2017-’18 – up more than $79 million.
It is a 20.5 per cent boost on its allocation in the last Liberal budget in 2014, the State Government claims.
Under the statewide boost, hospitals will receive an extra $1.67 billion in the State Budget in the next four years.
Ms Graley said the boost would ensure local residents had access to the highest quality care close to home.
“We know that our hard-working and dedicated doctors and nurses do a remarkable job at Casey Hospital and this record funding boost will ensure they can continue to save lives and keep people healthy.”
