The major redevelopment of the Blayney Multipurpose Service (MPS) has begun with a sod turn ceremony held yesterday.
Mr Toole said the existing MPS will be redeveloped on its original location on Osman Street following a comprehensive review by Health Infrastructure and the Western NSW Local Health District.
“The project will bring high quality health and aged care services closer to home and ensure the Blayney MPS can continue to meet local health care needs for years to come,“ Mr Toole said.
“The former NSW Government invested $297 million into Multipurpose Service redevelopments that would deliver improved access to health and aged care services for communities in rural and remote NSW including Blayney.
The new Blayney MPS includes:
· Individual bedrooms in the residential aged care wing, offering improved amenity and a more homelike environment for residents
· Easy wayfinding, with a single ‘front door’ to replace the three existing entries
· Increased space for inpatients and additional treatment chairs
· An expanded HealthOne
· A new drop-off and parking area.
· Courtyards and landscaping
Taylor Construction were recently announced as the successful tenders for the project and will engage with local trades to complete the job. Construction is underway and will be completed in three stages.
