Healthy win for town's hospital
2 Mar 2004
The Mallee town of Manangatang was celebrating yesterday, as the Victorian Government guaranteed its hospital and nursing home would stay open for at least two more years. Health Minister Bronwyn Pike promised to inject emergency funding.
News of the State Government's surprise rescue package swept through the town quickly yesterday afternoon and 241 of Manangatang's 300 residents turned up at the hospital at 4pm to celebrate.
The chairman of a committee which is investigating the hospital's future said the Government's decision was welcome, however the community needs to see precise details.
