Its specialist services include obstetrics and gynaecology, anaesthetics, general surgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, urology, gastroenterology, paediatric surgery, ear nose and throat surgery, plastic surgery, rehabilitation of the aged and extended care and aged care assessment team services.
Note: definitions of bed availability are as follows: an available active bed/chair is one which is immediately available for use by an admitted multiday patient or resident. An available inactive bed/chair is a bed/chair in a ward area that cannot be used for an admitted patient (i.e. is closed for operational management reasons, such as infection control, staffing, clinical, demand management, ward maintenance etc.).
As at 21 September 2007:
(a) Medical and surgical beds (excluding same day surgical) - 24 available active; total of 35 available active and available inactive.
(b) Same day surgical beds - 12 available active; total of 24 available active and available inactive.
(c) Obstetrics (including birthing suites) - 20 beds and 4 birth suites available active; total of 35 available active and available inactive.
(d) Rehabilitation and restorative care - 85 available active; total of 87 available active and available inactive.
(e) Psycho-geriatric mental health - 24 available active; total of 24 available active and available inactive.
