Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital could be renamed as The Queensland Children’s Hospital in order to clear up confusion over whether the hospital is public or private.
A quarter of parents surveyed were under the belief that the public hospital was private and therefore assumed they would be unable to afford their child’s care at Lady Cilento.
Health Minister Steven Miles says “I don’t want even the slightest risk that parents think they can’t have their child treated at this hospital if they need it.”
Queenslanders have a month to have their say on the Get Involved website.
