Any hopes that Southern Cross may be starting up its hospital services locally have again been put on hold.
In February, the company announced that it was gearing up to offer its hospital services at its Silverdale facility, on the corner of Millwater Parkway and Hibiscus Coast Highway.
The first floor is occupied by GPs Silverdale Medical and other health professionals, but the top floor, where a hospital was to be fitted out, has been empty since the facility was built 10 years ago.
Back in February, fitting out the hospital was in the design phase, and as a first step, resource consent was obtained to add a level to the carpark on Polarity Rise]. However, no work has begun yet.
Hibiscus Matters sought an update and Southern Cross Healthcare Property and Development general manager, Richard Paul, advises that the company is currently reviewing all aspects of its Silverdale facility.
What happens as a result will be made public in this paper when known.
