Christine M D Bello Hospital is a vital necessity for the community, Coffs Hospital is unable to keep up with the demand of the area, it is senseless to think that they need to reduce services especially in the maternity section. Where would people go ? If Bello closed Coffs would not be 

JAKI L

Jaki L The wait at Coffs A&E is often 8 hours, Day Surgery 12 to 18 months, ambulances queued up 5 or 6 deep, mothers-to-be told they cant book into CH Maternity cause beds already allocated. Bello Hospital can help with all of this: reinstate its full services so we can share the load! THEN we can try to ensure people dont have Adam's experiences.

Linda c   I have a cousin who works at Bellingen Hospital and she loves her work. She is dedicated, caring and conscientious. Her skills would be lost if this hospital closed down.

adam grant your the 1% who arnt happy with the service that bello hospital provides. your leg couldnt have been that bad or you would have been transfered to coffs via ambo much sooner then 3 hours. And dont you think if bellingen hospital had the funding there would have been a doctor there and you would have been seen sooner

During the last school holidays, firstly my 8 year old son Finn, cut his finger through his tendon at 8 o'clock in the morning, went to Bello Hospital, they cleaned it up, but we had to go to Coffs Hospital for the operation, a week later, my partner cut his hand with a circular saw at work, went to Bello Hospital, got 20 stitches, a week later my other son Kai, fell out of a tree and had to get 5 stitches in the back of his head, at Bello, I'd just like to say, it's so comforting to know that there is a hospital nearby, when these sort of accidents happen, and you don't have to drive for a long time when your loved ones are in pain. Thank you Bellingen Hospital, I've used you when I had to, and many different times as well as the above-mentioned circumstances. I'd hate to have to drive to Coffs for an Emergency. 

You, your doctors and staff rock!!!!

Best way to stop our local hospitals being closed is to stop voting for labour state governments. Our communities need our community facilities.....most of all our hospitals....where friends and family are close and the staff are often also part of our communities

and the tourists who arrive at the backpackers on the greyhound, it means we'd have to drive them to coffs, just can't happen, bello needs its hospital!!

CALEB B

Caleb B i was also born in bellingen hospital by DR Deidrie little alomst 20 years ago. and that hospital has been good to me when i have broken my arm. It is a great hospital:]

ELIZABETH W

Elizabeth W I was also born in the bellingen hospital 63 years ago. Only for Dr Hewitt and this hospital I would have died at 18months old.I spent a lot of time in this hospital till I was 10 years old. Spent one christmas there.I remember everyone was at the big table in the middle of the ward,I was still sleeping in my bed, when nurse heather fuller came and took me over and sat me on a pillow so I was high enough to see the food on the table. Even though I was very sick, I still do have lots of memories.

CHELONE B

Chelone B The loss of the Bellingen hospital would be a tragedy for the area. It services a much wider community than just the immediate town. I grew up and went to school in Thora. It is a 1/2 hour trip into Bellingen, sometimes longer. For those of us who have had accidents out there the Bello hospital did us proud. To drive to Coffs can be the difference between life and death for some of us.
