THE redevelopment of Frankston Hospital has moved closer to completion after cranes at the site were dismantled last month. The project is on track to be done this year. When complete, the new clinical services tower will host a new inpatient services operating theatre suite, women’s and children’s services, cancer services, and mental health facilities. The new tower is expected to treat around 35,000 patients each year once fully operational.
Four cranes have been operating at the site over the last two years. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “local families across Frankston will soon be able to access more health services, faster and closer to home, when the massive hospital redevelopment opens next year.”
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this marks yet another exciting milestone on the Frankston Hospital redevelopment – with the ability to treat more patients, local families living or moving to the area know they can rely on care closer to home.”
