The Government is investing $1.5 million into Rotorua's historical QE Health and set to save 75 local jobs.
The funding will be taken out of the Provincial Growth Fund to ensure continued high-quality health service in the city, Under Secretary for Regional Economic Development Fletcher Tabuteau announced in a statement today.
The funding will go towards developing the $14.5m purpose-built facility which will remain on the wider lakefront site, near the intersection of Whakaue and Hinemaru Sts.
