Stor var vår glede da det ble kjent at helseminister Jan Christian Vestre (Ap) åpner for fortsatt pasientbehandling på Gaustad sykehus (Dagsavisen, 6. september 2025).</p><p class=\"paywall hyperion-css-1j42uic\">I oppslaget slo Vestre fast at en videre bruk av sykehuset kan bidra til regjeringens nasjonale mål om 430 nye sengeplasser i psykisk helsevern. Helseministeren pekte også på Gaustads flotte bygninger og den vakre naturen som omgir sykehuset. «Da er det riktig å finne ut av hvordan vi kan gjenbruke dette og ta vare på bygget inn i noe nytt», sa Vestre og kalte dette «et signal for hva som skal komme videre».</p><div class=\"hyperion-css-1ykv2lv\"><div class=\"hyperion-css-l9jsj3\"><p class=\"hyperion-css-1qm9e9t\">Du har nå lest dine gratis artikler denne uken.
