Region. Need for more hospitals

A draft New South Wales Government report has revealed the need for more hospital services, in south-west Sydney, which is slated to absorb an extra 300,000 people over the next quarter of a century. The Sydney South-West Area Health Service’s report said Campbelltown Hospital would act as the region's major metropolitan hub, a mini-hospital, at Leppington, could provide outreach maternity care and mental health services, as well as minor surgical procedures. Another, at Oran Park, could specialise in dental services, child health nursing and palliative care. The area which straddles Campbelltown, Camden and Liverpool councils.
