Hydrotherapy Pool

Will the Minister deny that the Royal Canberra Hospital South hydrotherapy pool is to close?

MR HUMPHRIES - the answer to Mr Berrys question is: a

I am grateful for the opportunity to address this question because there are rumours circulating regarding the hydrotherapy pool. The hydrotherapy service at Royal Canberra Hospital South is an essential part of the rehabilitation group-of services and also the outpatient physiotherapy services provided for the people of Canberra.

I would like to assure the people of Canberra that the plans to redevelop Royal Canberra Hospital South contain no plans to close the pool. The services of the hydrotherapy pool will continue to be available to the people of the ACT in the same way as they are today.
