00:00We celebrated the topping out or reaching the peak of the three-storey build for the
00:14new Tamworth Mental Health Unit which means that it's all clad and now it's ready for
00:17the exciting stage of fit-out. With that also brought the installation of the Link Bridge
00:22which joins the new mental health unit with the Tamworth Hospital.
00:30So we're still on track for completion this year and into the building early next year.
00:37And we're confident that the bed base here will support those that require a hospital admission.
00:43From personal experience we've had a young person in our family go through it.
00:48We've had other members and all our carers are caring for someone with mental health problems.
00:54It's going to be a much more friendlier place, a cleaner place.
01:00Every person there will have their own bathroom.
01:04They should feel a lot safer, secure and hopefully their mental health problems will be more easily solved.
01:13Not solved, but you know, it helps along a lot of the company.
