MILTON HOSPITAL MOVES AHEAD
McGuinty Government Protects Milton’s Healthcare

QUEEN’S PARK – Halton Healthcare Services (HHS) has received approval for a $22.5-million provincial planning grant to assist with the cost of the Milton District Hospital (MDH) Redevelopment, Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn announced today.

“This provincial grant is terrific news for local families,” said Flynn. “This funding will allow for the redevelopment of the hospital to move ahead with planning and improve high quality health services in Milton.”

The $22.5-million provincial grant will assist with the cost of planning and designing the Milton District Hospital (MDH) Redevelopment. This brings the total planning and design grant to $24-million after $1.5-million was announced in July 2007.

“We made the right choice in our budget to protect health care and move forward with the expansion plans in Milton as well as the construction of the New Oakville Hospital,” said Flynn. “I urge others not to make the wrong choice and vote down the budget to force an unnecessary election and put these important projects at risk,” concluded Flynn.

I spent 12 hours in emerg at MDH. Sh!ttiest hospital ever and I pray I will never have to go there again.

Was it because you mistakenly ate your frozen garbage?

Planning and design work. AKA - employing the architectural and engineering firms to actually design the expansion. That's real work, and not cheap.

Too bad we can't just use the same design as the Oakville hospital (or parts of it).
This is why many grade schools are identical - one design, many builds.

I hope that if u or one of ur loved ones ends up at emerg, some retard makes fun of you.

Ummm, are you seriously complaining that you spent 12 hours there? That is NOT unusual! It is not a fast-food drive through! Did you have blood work, tests etc? If you were in the emergency department, you must have been sick which means you would need tests. It takes times to result these tests. Go to Credit Valley or Trillium, you would wish you were only there for 12 hours.

12 hours is not unusual? We weren't there for the sniffles so yes, 12 hours is completely unacceptable.

We once went to Mount Sinai...seen by a doctor within 2 hours. That's the only downfall to living in Milton and being quite a ways away from Toronto...way better healthcare in the city than out here in the boonies. Oh well. I still love Milton.

What would you propose ? When you get there you should be able to bud in line? It isn't the hospital's fault that there is too many people but I bet your the first one to bitch the moment you get busy at work huh?

I propose that if someone has a cold, stay home and get rest. No need to clog up the emerg with silly complaints. And no, I do not expect to butt in line.

So because idiots go to the emerg Milton Hospital sucks?
