Regional health services
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:56): Hospital amalgamations have officially hit the radar by the Allan Labor government for Melbourne. The narrative has surfaced, the excuses are lining up and now we wait for the fatal blows. Regional health is best served locally and not by forcing people to navigate the larger centres for basic health needs. The Minister for Health and the Premier will have blood on their hands if they push this unacceptable outcome. Fund our local health services and keep local health local.
