The Hills. Private hospital to expand

The Hills Shire Council has approved plans for an additional ward and operating theatre, at the $140 million Norwest Private Hospital, which opened at year ago. The work is due to be completed in May. Council’s GM, Deborah Fogarty, said the hospital had experienced 26 per cent growth in patient volume since relocating from the Hills Private Hospital. She said beds would increase from 170 to 213.
