Constituency questions

Rowville electorate


Rowville electorate

Mr WELLS (Rowville) (14:40): (6450) My question is to the Minister for Health. Minister, why is the Victorian government forcing Rowville residents to pay excessive prices to park when visiting Monash Health? Adam, when consoling his wife as she succumbed to ovarian cancer, was forced to pay nearly $500 just to park at the hospital, coming and going over one week. However, the hospital car park rip-off is not isolated to Adam. It also affects the 276 000 patients Monash Medical Centre admits every year and the 13 000 overworked staff that are employed at the hospital. The Andrews government cannot seriously expect taxpayers to shell out excessive money for hospital car parking they have already paid for. It is time we gave the workers and the patients in the struggling health system a break.
