Labor will re-establish level 2 maternity services at the Mersey
The Liberal Party is ignoring its own government data with its failure to support Labor’s plan to re-establish maternity services at the Mersey Community Hospital.
Labor Member for Braddon Anita Dow said reports produced by the Department of Treasury and Finance clearly show the Latrobe municipality is one of the fastest growing local government areas in the state.
“These reports are backed in by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and a recent report released by the University of Tasmania Institute for the Study of Social Change,” Ms Dow said.

There were a record 99,000 Australian citizens returning after living overseas in 2019-20, the greatest number of returns ever recorded. In the same year, over 61,000 Australians emigrated, a decline of 29 per cent from one year earlier. These changes likely reflect impacts from COVID-19.
