The dumping of the proposal to co-locate the Gynaecology and Maternity wards at the RBWH is the correct decision.
It should never have been allowed to proceed this far in the first place.
I am deeply concerned the Health Minister is not across what is going on in her department.
The fact this was ever a proposal at all shows Queensland Health is operating without compassion.
I am also deeply concerned this issue was raised for weeks but no action was taken until it was reported in the media.
The old adage for the Palaszczuk Government is proving true: this government only cares about how things look, not how things really are.
Today’s decision was made to solve a political problem, not a a problem raised multiple times by people who were being genuinely affected by this.
Queenslanders deserve better than a government that is losing control of healthcare in this state.
