FRONT UP: Speaking to media in Mackay earlier today.
THE Opposition understands the State Government has today received the long awaited review of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department at the Mackay Base Hospital.
It comes nearly one year after the first harrowing stories broke of Mackay mothers suffering significant birthing complications – many of them life changing.
The time is now up for the State Government.
The public have waited far too long for this report to be released.
The decision to keep it hidden from the public absolutely reeks of politics.
It’s clear the Minister doesn’t want to face the music about what is in the report in Parliament next week.
We know the findings of the report must be significant because two doctors were dismissed for their involvement.
This saga can’t go on indefinitely. It’s time to see the report, every last word, so the mothers of Mackay can have confidence in their hospital.
