Since March 2011, we have made it a priority to deliver a health system that is accessible and sustainable to ensure our children and grandchildren receive the same high quality health care that we currently receive. We are investing more than $8 billion over the next four years on health infrastructure across NSW and completed over 100 new and upgraded hospitals and health facilities, including more than 63 in regional NSW, with another 115 projects underway or committed. While in government, the NSW Liberals and Nationals have boosted the nursing workforce by almost 20 per cent to 51,890 and the number of doctors by 35 per cent to 12,100.
