The state government announced the 2015-16 budget allocations for Victorian health services on Friday.

Wimmera health service budgets total about $138 million, up $5,335,000 from the 2014-15 budgets.

Wimmera Health Care Group will receive the largest slice with $53.5 million, up $2 million on last year.

Rural Northwest Health’s 2015-16 budget allocation is $10.3 million, up $280,000 from last year.

Chief executive Catherine Morley said there was no increase in money for new services, but the extra allocation would help with increased costs.

“The government is certainly trying to support health groups to deliver high-quality services that meet the community’s needs,” she said.

“We are pleased the health department is trying to help us to reflect the increase in costs we have to deal with.

“Rural Northwest Health is continuing to look at how we can be more efficient and effective to ensure the dollars we get are delivered on health, not on the administration side of things.”

Ms Morley said the service was investing $1.8 million in its stage two redevelopment at its Warracknabeal campus.

“We hope having all the services under one roof will help with our efficiency,” she said.

Wimmera Health Care Group deputy chief executive Mark Knights said additional growth funding in acute and sub-acute services was welcome.

West Wimmera Health Service will receive an extra $577,000 this year, while Dunmunkle Health Services will receive an additional $135,000.

Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital’s allocation for 2015-16 is up $139,000 on last year, and Stawell Regional Health’s budget will increase by $285,000.

East Wimmera Health Service’s budget will rise by $1.3 million.

East Grampians Health Service had an increase of $619,000 from last year.
