Tenders released for new hospital work

The new 200 square metre building would be located in the centre of the hospital complex between the main building, nurses rooms and the kitchen.

A demountable building and a covered walkway in the area would be demolished.

The new building would include four "telehealth ready" consulting rooms, a treatment room (capable of being retrofitted as a dental clinic), a large room for family case conferences, reception and waiting area plus support areas such as ablutions, utility, plant and store rooms.

The Federal Government promised $2.3 million for new Katherine Hospital consulting rooms in the lead up to the last election.

Tenders close on July 8.
