Honourable Speaker, I rise this evening to speak about a situation that occurred at the Launceston General Hospital emergency department last night and this morning.
It's a follow-up question to your question relating to the scoped down plans for the Royal Hobart Hospital emergency department. Was the decision made to shrink the plan based on funding?
In February this year, the Public Works Committee recommended the expansion of the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) emergency department (ED) at a cost of $149 million, with increased capacity intended to meet growing demand over the next 10 years.
The Royal Hobart Hospital ED redevelopment is a critical project, but leaked health department emails show it has been dumped and replaced with an alternative that’s not fit for purpose now, let alone in the future.
In yet another reminder of the still-deepening health crisis, recently released government figures show more emergency patients at hospitals are waiting for longer for treatment than ever.
