Mr GILES - 2008-09-17
The report on the review of outpatient services at Alice Springs Hospital also found there were considerable concerns that patients with severe problems are not being seen in an appropriate time frame and that, in some instances, patients who have been waiting for a long time are upgraded to P1 in order to be seen. The report found that this practice increased the waiting time for patients who are truly P1 to the detriment of their health. Is this not just one more example of why we need a full public inquiry into the Territory’s public hospitals?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I have given a very full answer about the review that was undertaken, the recommendations, their implementations, and the challenges that remain.
