Alliance pleased to be invited

The Woy Woy Hospital Alliance has expressed its pleasure at being invited to the sod-turning ceremony for the new rehabilitation unit at the hospital.

Alliance chairman Mr Ivan Kinny said: "This marked the commencement of the actual building of the new rehabilitation unit.

"It had been a splendidly organised-occasion, as reported in our local media, for which we record our sincere appreciation."

The meeting also discussed the question of naming of the new unit and its two 15-bed wards.

It was resolved that this matter be discussed with the authorities.

A short celebration concluded the meeting which involved the cutting and eating of a cake bearing two candles.

Mr Kinny said further such ceremonies with more candles would recognise important stages in the construction, opening and use of the building.
