WHY has it taken six months for the Palaszczuk Government to start listening about the shocking situation mothers are facing in Gladstone?
It’s unfathomable it’s taken this long for the Government to work out the situation is urgent.
It was urgent more than six months ago when the Gladstone maternity unit shut its doors.
What on earth has the Health Minister been doing for the last six months?
Has she never met with her own Department about the Gladstone Birthing Crisis?
It’s a disgrace this situation has been allowed to drag on for this long.
It’s a complete embarrassment that the Health Minister has had to be dragged to a meeting with her own Director-General by an Acting Premier and former Health Minister, who is also responsible for Queensland’s broken health system.
This is another black mark on Yvette D’Ath’s appalling record.
If the Premier won’t act, the Acting Premier should.
The Health Minister must go.
Queenslanders deserve access to vital services.
Queenslanders deserve better.
