Record health funding in the NSW Budget will enable an extra 120,000 patients to be treated in an emergency department or admitted to hospital this year.

Recurrent spending in health will be $18.7 billion in 2014-15 - an increase of $929 million (or 5.2 per cent) on a like-for-like basis compared to the previous year. 

Almost $1.3 billion will be spent on health capital works in 2014-15, including money to commence redevelopments at Westmead Hospital, St George Hospital and Gosford Hospital.

There is also $24.5 million to commence construction on five new ambulance stations at Bankstown, Blacktown, Kogarah, Liverpool and Penrith.
