AN UPDATE ON THE MONA VALE HOSPITAL PRECINCT                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

From November the site will continue to be managed by NSW Health, a General Manager and Director of Nursing will be appointed and there will be 40 support staff including security, gardening, engineering and cleaning staff with support services relocated to a new building opposite the rehabilitation units.                                                                      The Urgent Care Centre (UCC) will be established on November 1 in the present Emergency Department. It will be open 24/7 and will have access to medical imaging, pathology and physiotherapy.                                                                                           
The temporary Ambulance Centre at MVH is now in operation.                                                                                                       The site for the new Palliative Care/Geriatric Evaluation andManagement (GEM) building has been released and will be located on the current helipad area to take advantage of the coastal views.
                                             

 The Kiosk will continue serving remaining staff and visitors until such time that the hospital is wrapped for demolition, which is planned to commence around March 2019, by then the NEW KIOSK should be ready                                                                                                                                                                                    The new Kiosk, will be next to the Urgent Care facility and will give  good visibility from the road.                                  There will be a staff of around 40 staying at the hospital excluding the Assessment & Rehabilitation Unit, the new Beaches Rehabilitation Unit  and Community Health staff and patients ..  boosted temporarily by the workforce of demolition workers.  Hopefully with the new Kiosk being close to the road we will be able to increase our customer base with people using the coastal walkway, dog parkland  area  and visitors to the Urgent Care Unit and Community Health Building                                                                                                                                                                                           The Kiosk will also be able to continue their trolley service to ARU & BRU with the trolley being stored close to the new facility
