Reason for this Petition
This petition of residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that the hydrotherapy pool at the Canberra Hospital (TCH) is due to be closed in June 2019, despite the importance of this health service. It is vital that these facilities are retained to provide accessible hydrotherapy services to the residents in Canberra’s south.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to:
• keep the hydrotherapy pool at the Canberra Hospital open and maintained until a new dedicated hydrotherapy pool is built on the south side of Canberra.
