Health system warning

02 Feb, 2012 05:41 PM
DOCTORS have warned it will take more than a decade for the health system to recover from the impact of drastic health cuts.

Giving evidence at the Legislative Council committee's inquiry into the impact of the $100 million health budget cuts, Dr Timothy Greenaway predicted the standard of health care would deteriorate dramatically.

``Trying to rebuild the standard of health care for the Tasmanian public may take a decade or more,'' Dr Greenaway said.

The Howard federal government provided funding for EXTRA BEDS in the form of Acute Medical Ward, bigger A&E & 4 new theaters.

Labour has CUT the number of theatres of surgical and medical wards by 33%.

The A&E has been poorly run for years with permanent doctors demoralised by the useless head causing them to leave & not be replaced.

Now we the nursing mafia (ANF) are forcing their pretend doctors (nurse practioners) into the system.

As a doctor at the LGH, I am worried. Will my own mum & dad receive appropriate care from a medical clinician when needed in the future?
