Meeting on hospital’s future

AN important meeting about the future of the Ouse District Hospital will be held in the Ouse Hall at 6pm on Thursday, July 17. The Central Highlands Council’s medical services committee has urged a good turnout for this meeting, which will hear the final findings of a review of future services at the hospital. The State Government last year moved to downgrade the hospital to a community health centre but the council and community’s preference is for a multi-purpose service similar to that operating at Campbell Town.
