Marguerite:
Bellingen Hospital was a very decisive factor in my sea change from Sydney to Bellingen over a decade ago. As a single mother with a young asthmatic child I needed to know that I could access an emergency service, that was close by, no matter what time of day or night. I have indeed used the service many times and would feel that the community would be robbed of this asset . Although my daughter has since grown up and moved away. I would like to see the hospital survives this senseless closure, ensuring its fantastic care for others with high health risks.LYNNE : Yes, My children were able to spend nights there in the Children's ward, close to home. I hadn't realised till recently that ambulances aren't free. What does that mean to travel from Bellingen to Coffs ?
Marguerite:
Its not a viable option for serious injury or life threatening illnesses, regardless of the cost...
Mary:
umm u know i just got one / it was like 400 dollars from Bello to Coffs, pension covered it, but those without that card get stung badly!
