(2) Recommendation 26 of the Reid report states "Woodside Maternity Hospital - to be closed once an appropriate replacement facility south of the river has been identified". (3) Kaleeya Hospital was not part of the public health system at the time of the Reid or Cohen reports; however, it has been identified as an appropriate facility consistent with Recommendation 26 of the Reid Report since becoming part of the public health system.
