The Liberals’ Smarter Health Care package will enable people of Northern Tasmania to better access health care from the hospital to the home when they need it, by taking the pressure off the Launceston General Hospital (LGH) and freeing up hospital beds to allow Tasmanians to get their surgery on time.

A Hodgman Liberal Government will provide $11.5 million to the Launceston Flood Authority for urgent and essential works to complete the works on the Lindsay Street Levee re-alignment.

Invest $9.5 million in the economic and environmental future of Northern Tasmania by tackling the major and continuing silt problem in the Tamar River and establishing a single state authority to manage Tamar River and the Esk River catchments into the future.
