Shadow Health Minister Mark McArdle<\/figcaption><\/figure>February 3, 2016 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government’s plan to strip control of local Hospital Boards is well underway, Shadow Health Minister Mark McArdle said today.<\/p>\n

Mr McArdle said the Hunter Review on local Hospital Boards concluded the government should establish a new leadership executive, effectively giving power to George Street at the expense of local people with local experience. <\/p>\n

“The new executive is made up of the Director General, Deputy Directors General, senior bureaucrats and the Queensland Ambulance Service Commissioner, all of whom work in Brisbane,” Mr McArdle said.<\/p>\n

“The only local knowledge on this executive is Chair of the Hospital and Health Board Chairs Forum.<\/p>\n

“The Government is silencing the voices of rural and regional Queenslanders and restricting the rural and regional knowledge of what is happening in local hospitals. <\/p>\n

“Aren’t they a part of Queensland and don’t they have a right to be heard?”<\/p>\n

Mr McArdle said the Government had promised it would consult with Queenslanders, but was now showing disregard for rural and regional Queensland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr McArdle said there were 16 Local Hospital Boards, each with between 6 and 10 members – a total of between 96 and 160 people – but this local knowledge would be lost or ignored.<\/p>\n

The Chair of the Hospital and Health Board Chairs Forum – the only regional representative on the leadership executive – had no voting rights.<\/p>\n

“The reason they can’t is the Hunter Review saw a potential perception of conflict of duty,” Mr McArdle said.<\/p>\n

“How does the Chair of the Health Board Forum have a conflict of interest when all other members of the executive, also working in Queensland Health, don’t?<\/p>\n

“Local hospital boards are clearly at risk and the Government is restricting their ability to act on local knowledge.<\/p>\n

“The boffins of George Street are back in charge at the expense of rural and regional Queensland.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
