According to the Sydney Morning Herald today, the state government will sell large chunks of public land around Royal North Shore Hospital!
Doctors say the plans would make it impossible to meet the demands of a growing population.
The chairman of the hospital's medical staff committee said this could affect NSW patients for the next 30 years.
A submission by Whilloughby Council argues that the sale is ill-considered and that planned high-rise commercial developments could get in the way of helicopters taking patients to the hospital.
One wonders at the motives of the NSW government, continuing to sell off state assets in the dying months of their lamentable rule. They need to remember they are effectively tenants nearing the end of their lease, and the taxpayers are the real owners of these assets. A tenant does not have the right to sell bits of the house before vacating!
