An annual report tabled by the Hospital and Health Service across Queensland has confirmed the state’s health system has been in decline this year.
It was revealed that along with emergency departments becoming overcrowded, that nearly 1 in 10 people will not have their surgery in a clinically recommended time.
It was also found that half of all ambulances arriving at Queensland hospitals will wait longer than 30 minutes to offload their patients.
The report commissioned by the shadow minister for health and ambulance services aimed to keep the current state government accountable and hopes to push for an improved the state health system.
