THE Health Minister’s media conference today was misleading, disgraceful and arrogant.
Yvette D’Ath’s version of events is fanciful.
She has sacked a board, she herself appointed and endorsed in March 2022 and now claims she wasn’t aware of the issues at Mackay Hospital back then.
How could she not be aware of these issues given the alarming claims were put directly to her as early as October last year?
The Minister said today, “Every level of leadership across the health system has to listen. And if they don’t listen then that’s on them. That is absolutely on them, and there will be action taken.”
These standards apply to the Minister and yet she’s pointing the finger elsewhere.
Given Yvette D’Ath only complains when serious questions are raised about very serious issues, she can no longer be trusted to provide the answers Queenslanders need.
The Opposition fought for the mothers of Mackay from the very start.
Queenslanders no longer trust Yvette D’Ath.
She can no longer be Health Minister.
What action is Annastacia Palaszczuk going to take against her Minister?
