Blacktown-Mount Druitt Health

Both Mount Druitt Hospital and the near-by Blacktown Hospital operate under one administration, the Blacktown/Mount Druitt Health (BMDH). BMDH is a unit of the Sydney West Area Health Service.

Expansion

In 2006, the state member Richard Amery announced extensions totalling 10 beds spread throughout various units within the hospital. This included aged care rehabilitation and emergency care. A$2.1 million were allocated to the works however it was clearly identified that the extra facilities would not be opened until the required extra staff had been recruited. [1]
