Health Minister Yvette D’Ath<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June 23, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath has advised that booking timeframes for COVID-19 tests at Kingaroy Hospital have been extended.<\/p>\n

The Minister was responding to a letter from Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington last month which detailed concerns about the availability of COVID-19 testing and vaccination options in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

“The Darling Downs Hospital and Health Services appreciate the feedback and use it as a way to\u00a0improve their systems and processes and have therefore extended the booking timeframes for the\u00a0availability of COVID-19 testing at the Kingaroy Hospital,” Mrs D’Ath said.<\/p>\n

“If a member of the community requires a\u00a0test, they are to telephone the facility and be allocated a time to attend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Darling Downs Health\u00a0facilities will continue to test people who present to the Emergency Department and whilst they aim\u00a0to test in a timely manner, emergency cases will take priority.<\/p>\n

“Darling Downs Health facilities will\u00a0continue to advise consumers of alternative local testing sites to allow them to make an individual\u00a0choice of provider.<\/p>\n

“The Darling Downs Hospital and Health Services are administering vaccines at various sites across\u00a0their health service.<\/p>\n

“Planning is underway to provide further clinics within the South Burnett in\u00a0accordance with Queensland Government guidelines.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
