The Illawarra and South Coast areas of NSW are seriously short of first class hospital and medical centres. The public hospitals in the region are chronically over-utilised with bed occupancies in the order of 105% and the population is growing. This is aggravating the medical shortage but represent the ideal timing for this development.
