National promises to prioritize the replacement of Nelson Hospital

National has promised to prioritize replacing Nelson Hospital, if elected, beginning with community counseling in 2021.

Party leader Judith Collins took the opportunity to stop in the rain on Monday to announce it outside, saying the national government would provide a facility that was “earthquake-proof and fit for purpose”.

“Nelson needs new hospital buildings and they will be connected by National Corporation,” Collins said. “The failure of the Labor Party to deliver on its promises about Otago Hospital is a warning to all of us about the complexity and challenges of hospital design.”

She said that pending progress after consulting with the community, design work would follow in 2022 and then approval and selection of a contractor in 2023.

National Party leader Judith Collins with Nelson Rep. Dr. Nick Smith after announcing a schedule for replacing Nelson Hospital if National is elected.

Dr. Nick Smith, Nelson MP, said National will focus on providing “a suitable facility that will meet Nelson’s needs for decades to come.”

“The major hospital buildings in Nelson do not meet earthquake standards, do not have enough beds for the growing population in the area, and are not of an acceptable standard for patients or health professionals,” Smith said.

Everyone should have access to world-class healthcare, regardless of income, background or zip code. National is investing in our future by making improvements to our public health system that will help future generations. “

National rewrote earthquake-prone building codes and standards in 2017 in response to the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes.

“These prioritize hospital upgrades,” he said, “Nelson should be completed by 2028.”

The cost was expected to be “hundreds of millions” of dollars.

Nick Smith says major buildings at Nelson Hospital do not meet seismic standards.

“I sought out more detailed numbers from DHB,” Smith said. “They chose not to release them.”

When Stave asked whether the nation could build an alternative hospital, Smith said that the National’s view was “a good time during the recession to increase capital spending.”

“You borrow money to build assets more than you pay people aid,” he said. “This is a project that must be done. No government will have a choice to do so. Today’s commitment is about getting a job while accepting a realistic timetable.”

The commitment to rebuild the hospital on its current location and increase its capacity from 149 to 200 beds was “to be able to meet the needs of the Nelson Tasman area”.

Collins said the National was the infrastructure party.

“We haven’t seen anything from the government about this,” she said. “It is very important that we put a stake in the land and that we have a good schedule here for Nelson Hospital.”
