I listen with amazement to the cost cutting reorganization suggested by the bean counters in health. My daughter is an emergency medicine doctor at a Brisbane hospital and they regularly don't have the right equipment, she has had to physically clean blood off floors before treating patients and she is incredibly dedicated and hard working. Yet the business profit minded bureaucrats and academics see medicine as not a human right in our wealthy community but as a profit making enterprise. cost cutting in support services is crippling our hospitals and the local Townsville hospital boasted a 20 million dollar surplus while they charge astronomical fees to park in the hospital car park. It is just wrong .Let our taxes pay for state government run hospitals with government paid cleaners and centrally sourced resources.
