THE Health Minister’s statement today regarding ambulance ramping at Townsville Hospital is base politics at its worst.
For the Health Minister to use the Queensland Ambulance Service for her own political gain is appalling.
For the disgraced Health Minister’s information, ambulance ramping is when ambulance’s wait at a ramp for more than 30 minutes.
This is a symptom of a sick system.
The QAS social media post even says average wait times were 35 minutes.
That IS the definition of ambulance ramping.
Patients, paramedics, doctors, nurses and Queensland Health staff are going to keep sending us these pictures and we are going to keep sharing them with Queenslanders because the Health Crisis affects them every day.
How can Queenslanders trust the Health Minister to fix the Health Crisis is she doesn’t even know what ambulance ramping actually is?
