Keep the facility where it is. It can be upgraded and extended to accommodate more healthcare services. To move the facility to a further location would be devastating to the communities it currently serves. It is mainly the poorer communities and the elderly that are making use of the facility. Taking it away means more struggling and hardship for the disabled and elderly to get to a new facility which would be further away.

That hospital has served families for generations ,it maintains trusted and accessible neighborhood heritage and it serves as an anchor for our neighborhood ,providing familiar care and keeping our medical history close to home ,Plus going to a place we have known for years makes us feel safe when we are sick and what about the old people ? We love that hospital .Please find it in your heart to reconsider.

The closest day hospital is in Grassy Park, near Prince George Drive. For many people in and around Lotus River, that is too far to walk and transport is expensive.A lot of families in Lotus River struggle to afford taxi or bus fare. If the hospital should leave the sick, elderly and children will find it hard to get medical attention. Closing the day hospital will put so much pressure on Grassy park day hospital and the waiting time will be much longer.

Not in favour of relocation. It is safe and accessible for the wards it serves. Moving will be detrimental to the Healthcare of these wards and accessibility for the aged and disadvantaged.

The day hospital has been here for years and it is convenient to go to especially for the elderly.

Not only the best Day Hospital, but also situated in a fairly safe place- perhaps more secure fencing outside to block the field.

The elderly from the areas which this hospital is currently serving, will then have to travel to the new premises. Parkwood is a struggling community!
