Rates Notice Sample - July 2021

JOIN THE FIGHT TO UPGRADE FAIRFIELD HOSPITAL Fairfield Hospital was built 32 years ago and since then there has never been a major upgrade, while other hospitals are receiving billions of dollars of upgrades.

FAIRFIELD CITY MAYOR FRANK CARBONE

Our region is growing, our hospital is one of the closest to the new Western Sydney airport and it’s important that the State Government provides adequate services and infrastructure to meet the growing health needs of our community.

Our hospital has not received the funding required to meet the health care needs of our community especially when compared to other hospitals.

We demand that the State Government urgently commits to upgrade facilities at Fairfield Hospital.

And we want to know what the State Government’s plans are for the future of the hospital.

Please join me in signing this petition.
