Mums Wind up Paying the Penalty for Government Incompetence in Sale
The continuing incompetence of the Bracks Government is now being felt by new mums at Sale Hospital, where two paediatricians have been driven from the facility, unable to cope with the unrelenting workload and the absence of any future planning by the Government.
Talking to the Yarram Standard News (21 June), Michelle Dillow worries that when her second child is due in September they may be shunted off elsewhere because Sale Hospital can’t cope. ‘It does make you a bit uneasy, knowing if something goes wrong you may have to be transported to another hospital where they have all the services.’
Meanwhile, other soon-to-be mums in Sale will be waiting six months before another paediatrician arrives from South Africa.
Except for emergency services, paediatrics, staffing levels and after hours care, Bronwyn Pike has got regional health in Victoria totally under control!
