In Darwin, mental health patients are kept waiting for hospital beds every dayHealth authorities say a “sustained increase” in mental health presentations at Royal Darwin Hospital is pressing the system to its limit and forcing NT Health to rearrange wards to deal with the surge in demand. What percentage of those presentations are self inflicted drug abuse? Why would Darwin be free of the 'ice' scourge afflicting the country? Are not all hospitals being inundated with psychotic drug abusers? sad none of the politicians or doctors have the guts to speak in Australia about the cause that leads to mental health,,,,like drug addiction, alcohol addiction,, childhood neglect,,bad schools,,irresponsible parents,,,divorce of parents,,,promiscuities of partner,, etc Isnt it refreshing to have a Minister be forthcoming on what is happening, what the problems area and what is being done to address them without a hint of evasiveness or blame shifting Personally I believe the increase in demand is partially driven by methamphetamine use

Should under 60s get a second dose of AstraZeneca? The health advice is clearHealth officials say if you've already received one dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, you should get a second regardless of your age. Covid19 is going down in aus history as the most deadliest vaccine PMSL It frustrates me that our health bureaucrats are sprouting lies about mix-n-match of vaccines in the face of multiple international studies, expressly to support the government’s rollout program. Pfizer/AZ combo is being offered in several countries, including Canada.
