No mention in $110 billion infrastructure plan.

Concerns have been raised that a new Tumut Hospital is listed nowhere in the NSW Government's $110 billion, 10-year infrastructure plan released Wednesday.

The plan covers rail, road, power, water, health and education.

It contains no new announcements, but for the first time gives indications of how and when projects will be funded.

It includes details about a new police station at Wagga, the $25m Coolac bypass and $120m to clear the current school maintenance backlog.

Mr Iemma said the Government had attempted to match the delivery of new projects with the pressures confronting NSW in the future - an ageing population, population growth and technological advances, particularly in health.
