Does being in a 'safe seat' influence whether your hospital gets an upgrade?

Hospitals located in electorates considered 'safe seats' may be at a disadvantage when it comes to receiving significant government funding for upgrades. An investigation is exploring whether political considerations are influencing the allocation of multi-million-dollar refurbishment projects for healthcare facilities in Victoria. This raises questions about equitable distribution of resources across different regions.

This matters because it questions whether essential public services like hospital infrastructure are being allocated based on need or political expediency, potentially impacting healthcare quality for all citizens.
