A Five-Year Wait - But Still No Money for Wonthaggi Hospital
For five years Wonthaggi Hospital has been begging the Bracks Government for a proper accident and emergency service, reports the Leongatha Star (27 June).
And after the current budget – they’re still waiting. No funding has been forthcoming despite the 100% rise in patients presenting for emergency treatment over the last five years. That translates to 10,000 cases a year.
It’s not as though it’s a major undertaking, either. The hospital has the facilities, but not the money to staff it.
How bad does it have to get before Health Minister Bronwyn Pike takes some responsibility for the health services crisis in Victoria?
