Former Queenstown mayor Glyn Lewers says he’s "really chuffed" the government’s finally investing in this district’s health services.
Lewers says the announcement’s the result of a huge amount of hard work by a large number of people over a long time, but pays particular credit to Southland MP Joseph Mooney, and describes it as a ‘‘step-change’’ in health provision in the area.
"Now we’ve just got to make sure the general hospital happens . . . I do believe that should be in Queenstown."
