Southern NSW hospital patients and staff have been impacted by ‘No Consultation, No Rehydration’ cuts, with management’s ongoing focus on ‘financial sustainability’ sparking a crackdown on ordering basic needs for patients – like one bottle of water a day for patients in critical care departments across the LHD.

SNSWLHD HSU Delegates have met and endorsed actions to ensure patients and the community are adequately fed and watered in times of need.

These cuts are happening without any consultation with the HSU, adversely impacting workloads and patient care. You can view correspondence from the LHD at this link.
