Dear Editor,
Mergers are mergers, no matter how they’re framed.
The Nationals have launched a petition https://www.handsoffourhospitals.com.au/ and we urge you to support it.
Regional health services are in crisis, with 22 out of 23 operating in deficit.
Elective surgeries are being cut, and ambulance services are failing to meet critical targets due to insufficient resources.
Patients are enduring over 24-hour waits in emergency rooms and hospitals are being told to turn the lights off to save on power bills.
Healthcare cuts, job losses, and mega-mergers are not the answers regional Victoria needs.
Join us in demanding better. Stand with us and fight for regional Victoria.
Labor can’t manage money, can’t manage our healthcare system and regional Victorians are paying the price.
Leader of The Nationals
Peter Walsh
