Richard King spoke with NSW Health Minister Ryan Park about growing concerns among nurses at the Calvary Mater Hospital, who say they are angry and disappointed after not receiving back pay they had been promised by the NSW Government. The discussion also focused on the future of the Mater, including the proposal for Newcastle's Mater Hospital to transition into a public hospital, and what that could mean for patients, staff and healthcare services across the region. In addition, Minister Park addressed ongoing concerns about mould issues affecting parts of the hospital, outlining the steps being taken to ensure the safety of patients and staff while maintaining confidence in the facility's operations.
