The New South Wales Government has pledged $307 million to build a seven-storey Acute Services Building at St George Hospital.
The unit is set to be the centrepiece of the St George Hospital redevelopment project, first announced in June 2014.
It will be constructed on top of the recently completed $41 million emergency department.
The new Acute Services Building at St George Hospital will include:
• intensive care;
• high dependency;
• cardiac intensive care;
• extra operating theatres;
• extra acute inpatient beds; and
• sterilising services department
The old emergency department building will be demolished and transformed into a new entry with drop-off zone and additional parking.
