Yes Belly QLD hospitals were once the envy of every other state. That was when they had local hospital boards. The locals could get right up the board members, when things went wrong. A Patell could not have happened them.
It was Goss, a control freak, who stuffed that system, probably did not like all the national party blokes on the boards, along with stuffing the locally based ambulance system, which worked much better [at least in the bush, where I lived], than the bureaucratic system he introduced. At least in the bush, we had the ambulance service we were prepared to support by fund raising. The vehicals were less of mobile hospitals, but there were enough to serve the district.
I don't know about Ruddies plan. It does include local boards, which sound good, but unfortunately, I just can't trust him. Just too plastic, & controlled for me. I'm sure we never see the real man, & I wonder if anyone knows what he really thinks.
I could be wrong about him, I was wrong once before, I hope I am, but only time will tell. At the same time, I am yet to form any idea of Abbott.
Still the 60/40 split in funding worries me, but I'm not sure it worries me enough to say no. I don't like the idea that all bureaucrats will keep their jobs. Too many of them is most of our problem right now, so what's the point of the plan, if we don't get some improvement in efficiency?
Our local hospital is pretty good. Even if I can't understand a word the doctor says, he seems to be able to fix most things, damn quick. It's when we get to the bigger places, with too many managers that it all goes wrong.
