- Power to all areas onsite except Penhall residential aged care unit, will be affected by the power outage.
- Access to the Acute Ward and Urgent Care will be via the front ramp of the main entrance for emergencies only.
- Only the desk phones and switchboard will be operational, calls should be limited to emergency only.
