I have had a very productive meeting with Federal Health Minister Susan Ley about the future of the Mersey Community Hospital and its role in providing health services to the people of Tasmania.
Both Ministers expressed a commitment to the Tasmanian health system.
The North West deserves and expects its community leaders to continue to work together to ensure the best possible outcomes on this important matter.
The Hodgman Government, together with community stakeholders, is firmly committed to working towards a solution that provides long term certainty for the future of the Mersey.
The Tasmanian Government will not accept any outcome that is not in the best interests of the Tasmanian health system, which is why we will always fight tooth and nail to ensure certainty for health services at the Mersey hospital.
