The Queensland Health Crisis Town Hall for Hervey Bay has booked out in a matter of hours.
Yesterday, the LNP announced the unique public forum was coming to Hervey Bay amid a growing crisis engulfing the region’s hospital.
The LNP is being flooded with people wanting to share their stories.
Worsening ambulance ramping, surgery wait times and emergency department delays has seen Hervey Bay residents coming forward in droves.
The LNP is still encouraging more residents to come forward and register for the event because every single story should be heard.
Shadow Health Minister Ros Bates says the LNP is now considering options to expand the Queensland Health Crisis Town Hall.
“The people of Hervey Bay clearly want to speak up and share their stories,” Ms Bates said.
“The region deserves a world class health system and we will fight tooth and nail alongside residents to ensure that happens.
“We have put genuine solutions on the table such as real time data monitoring for emergency departments, more beds, improving triaging and empowering the frontline staff to make local decisions.
“We promised we would give people in Hervey Bay a forum to tell their stories and we will do exactly that.”
