The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government will invest $750 million in the redevelopment of Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, the largest investment in its 137-year history.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the significant investment is only possible due to the strong economic management of the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government.
“RPA is a shining jewel in our health crown, and it is about to get the biggest investment in its 137-year history. This $750 million commitment for the Stage 1 redevelopment of RPA is a game changer for medical staff and patients,” Mr Hazzard said.
“The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is committed to ensuring RPA continues to deliver world-class patient and family-centred health care. The new facilities at RPA will build on the hospital’s strength of integrating treatment with research and innovation.”
The Stage 1 redevelopment will include expansion of the Emergency and Imaging departments, reconfiguration and expansion of operating theatres and integration of ambulatory care services.
Mr Hazzard said the Liberals & Nationals Government is investing more than $8 billion in health infrastructure over the next four years, and has invested nearly $10 billion since 2011.
“The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government has already built or upgraded more than 100 hospitals and other health facilities across the State and now RPA is getting its turn,” Mr Hazzard said.
“This investment will ensure that RPA continues to function as a fully integrated research and education precinct leading Australia with world-class clinical research facilities.
“This huge investment by the NSW Liberals & Nationals in the future of RPA Hospital will ease pressure on staff and enable them to continue delivering world-class care in the future,” Mr Hazzard said.
The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government commenced the transformation of this site with the Professor Marie Bashir Centre opened in 2014, and the $34.6 million staff car park opened in 2018, in addition to its ongoing support of Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.
