All the directional signs throughout Orange point to the ‘Hospital’ but when you get there it’s called Orange Health Service.

The name still grates because the bureaucratic ‘health service’ stuff doesn’t really mean anything to anybody.

A hospital is a hospital and that’s what it should be called: Orange Base Hospital, Orange General Hospital, Orange Hospital, take your pick.

Anything other than ‘health service’.

And it looks as though the name doesn’t comply with NSW Health’s policy directive that clearly says: “where a facility primarily provides acute in-patient services, the term ‘Hospital’ must be clearly designated in its name. Example: Blacktown Hospital.”

The directive further says: “while there is no impediment to administratively including a Hospital facility in a broader operational structure such as a ‘health service’, ‘cluster’ or ‘campus’, the Hospital name must not be completely subsumed within the broader administrative nomenclature. Example: X Hospital, not X Health Service …”.

And there’s more: “sites which contain a hospital facility should clearly display the ‘Hospital’ name at the entrance to the site, ensure it has prominence in its own right and is not made subordinate to administrative nomenclature such as ‘district’, ‘network’, ‘health service’.

There is no impediment, however, to also including the latter on signage.

So there you go – the name has to be changed. Orange Hospital MUST be called a hospital according to NSW Health.

The way it is now most people are confused, including the Sydney press, which calls it Orange hospital, and locally the media has a bet each way.

SOME of the petrol stations in Orange are in urgent need of lollipop traffic controllers because of the driveway chaos.

Drivers park and wait over the footpaths and into the street traffic lanes but worse, coming in from two directions, often park nose-to-nose while filling.

Another car pulling in behind one of them blocks the whole shebang and drivers have to manoeuvre and reverse to try to get out or just sit and wait.

Others crawl around the driveway in and out of other cars so their filler cap is on the same side as the hose, which will reach the opposite side anyway, and they cause more jams.

So filling the tank can be a painful experience.

You would think drivers could at least all go in the same direction … but then that probably takes a bit of common sense.

WOMEN’S national rugby league teams have adopted the names of their NRL clubs: Roosters, Broncos, Dragons and Warriors.

But hang on. How can you have a female rooster? It’s a male domestic fowl. Wouldn’t Hens be a more appropriate name?

The definition of a bronco is a wild or untamed horse with the name coming from the Spanish word meaning rough or rude.

Dragons are large frightening imaginary animals mostly with wings, a long tail and breathing fire, and a warrior is a fighter or soldier from former times.

So do the WNRL teams stack up to the definitions of their names?
