- Description
An elderly couple out for a walk stop outside the 'Lakes District Hospital' to read a large 'For Sale' sign. The sign reads 'Valuable Queenstown Property - vacant possession, all proceeds to God knows where. Contact R & R Realty Ryall & Rousseau "Flogging off your property".' The man comments 'Asset sales are under way then!' and the woman says 'By fair means or foul!' Context - There will be no hospital in Queenstown. Queenstown's Remarkables Park Ltd and the Queenstown Medical Centre have announced they are going ahead with multimillion-dollar plans for an integrated medical services facility on a site at Remarkables Park zoned for Hospitals and Healthcare Services. The move was in line with a Government policy of providing better, quicker and more convenient healthcare, and was supported by Health Minister Tony Ryall according to Mr Rousseau, chair of the Southern District Health Board. Hospital grade care would be available at the medical centre but urgent cases would be stabilised then sent on to larger regional hospitals - which is the system in place at the moment.
