The future of Keith and District Hospital is in doubt as the South Australian Government reveals it has provided the facility with $400,000 in emergency relief funding.
Keith Hospital has been under financial stress and reliant on short-term funding from the Government for many years; however, local Liberal MP Nick McBride says the funds currently allocated are so tight he questions whether it will last until July.
Opposition health spokesman Chris Picton says the Government needs to take immediate action to address and solve the issue for the long-term survival of the hospital.
