Living on the main route for ambulances confirms the importance of the Sandringham Hospital Emergency Department remaining open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The proximity of this hospital to the beach, many local sporting clubs and both the elderly and the young populations in the area, has an important role in the health of the local community as well as not increasing the pressure on other Emergency Departments. There has been enough cutting of funding to our health services. This plan needs to be stopped.

I took a friend who was extremely ill to Sandringham Emergency and my friend was treated immediately. Due to parking and the sheer wait at the bigger hospitals he may have died.

We also chose to live close by to the hospital to have medical aid close by - this was a lifestyle choice
We support the hospital & all the work it does for our local community in keeping us healthy after hours
It is so hard to find a Dr when you do have an emergency as emergency don't usually happen in normal business hours

I found the Hospital to have high nursing standards, and it was a pleasure to work with all highly trained and professional nursing staff on the wards. The Emergency Department certainly needs to be functional 24/7, otherwise the community will suffer gravely.

As our kids grow and our population ages, we cannot afford for these services to close down, utlimately putting even greater pressure on the major city hospitals. Ambulance bypass is at all time high in these larger hospitals - how can there be any justification in closing down Sandy ER and exacerbating an already overly strained hospital system accross our state?
It is not reasonable or in any way acceptable in a first world country, for people to be put at risk in ambulances searching for an ER not on bypass...

Additional pressures created for patient service delivery elsewhere in the Melbourne area will be greatly affected by a cut in your hospital hours!
