If children from Murwillumbah have to go to Tweed Hospital, it is more difficult for local parents to travel to and from and have extended visits if their children are further away. It is better if the ward stats open for local children.

However, when we got there, we were then being transferred to Tweed Heads. We had a chat with Dr Warne afterwards and he says that Murwillumbah had the facility and it was unnecessary for us to be transferred to Tweed Heads. I think it's very unfair that we were transferred there. What we need is not for the children ward to be closed down. In my opinion, the children ward should be more equipped so that we all can make use of it, instead of having it closed most of the time due to inadequate facilities, transferring patients to Tweed Heads, then claiming that we don't use it enough, and subsequently close it!
Two years ago, my daughter was actually being admitted to Murwillumbah hospital, due to unknown rash and fever. We actually had to pressed the doctor for a diagnosis, and because there was one other child who went to hospital because of asthma, that the doctor decided to admit her to murwillumbah hospital. It was apparently closed for more than a week, and the nurse had to be called in.
