Shadow Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Ros Bates said Labor’s outrageous scare campaigns and reheated health announcements show they’re out of ideas to heal the Health Crisis they created.
"Master planning is already underway and the LNP has already committed to the future pipeline of hospital upgrades and new hospitals in our Better Health, More Services plan," Ms Bates said.
"Labor simply can’t be trusted on health, they’ve had a decade to upgrade the Rockhampton Hospital ED and have done nothing, despite Rockhampton having the worst ambulance ramping in regional Queensland.
"Under Labor, ambulance ramping has gone from just 1% to 48%, leaving one in every two patients ramped when they arrive in an ambulance.
"Only after the LNP shone a light on record ambulance ramping in Rockhampton and announced a plan to provide more space for the hospital has Labor tried desperately to distract from their health record.
"In 2020 Labor promised Central Queensland a new dialysis unit, a refurbishment of the mental health ward and a new cardiac hybrid theatre and Labor hasn’t delivered on a single one of their promises.
"Rockhampton needs a Fresh Start, the only way we’ll end the Health Crisis is to vote 1 LNP, for the Right Plan for Rockhampton’s Future."
