I rise to acknowledge the opening of the $40 million Health and Hospitals Fund project at the Launceston General Hospital. This was the opening of a medical day procedure unit. I want to acknowledge Dr Alistair McDonald, Director of Medicine, for his promotion of this project and John Kirwen, the CEO. I also acknowledge the central auxiliary of the Launceston General Hospital for their major contribution to the hospital over many years. This is the biggest project in northern Tasmania for 30 years and I commend it to the House.
