A BAD HOSPITAL DECISION

From Brisbane comes the infuriating news that the Queensland government is going to cut its support for the palliative ward at the Canossa Private Hospital,Ingham. My mother spent her dying days in this fine establishment after enduring inadequate, cruel and inhumane treatment at a public hospital. Canossa staff, facilities and treatment were excellent . Being Health Minister is a difficult job in any state or territory, and in Queensland there have been several obvious lightweight ministers with this portfolio responsibility who were a pain to hear and see in action, ditto Darwin . It would be wise for the present minister to rescind this proposal to chop Canossa . Stupid decisions like this make it hard for genuine ALP supporters to vote for the party ,knowing the other side would be and has been worse.
