Balanced News: Mental health hospital gets green light despite objections from school

A mental health hospital is being created in Melbourne’s inner north-east despite objections from a nearby grammar school. The hospital will cater for up to 30 inpatients and provide services for day patients. The facility is being run by private provider Healthe Care and will exclude those with a primary diagnosis of substance abuse. The hospital is expected to have a substantially positive impact on vulnerable members of the community.
