The suspension of the Executive Director of Medical Services at Mackay Hospital is deeply concerning.

This development once again proves the Queensland Health Crisis is real and is affecting Queenslanders every day.

We acknowledge the decision taken by the Hospital and Health Service Board and repeat our calls for a genuine and thorough investigation into the issues plaguing Mackay Hospital.

The findings of that investigation must be released in full to the public.

It’s time the State Government started listening and taking ownership for the Queensland Health Crisis after half a decade of decline of our health system.

We must fix the Queensland Health Crisis.

Frankly, Queenslanders deserve better.
