Could it make economic sense for the state government to begin some amalgamations or mergers of Victoria’s hospitals? Almost certainly. But you won’t hear Labor MPs use those words when discussing the growing problems facing state’s health sector and how the Allan government is planning to solve them.. Which is why you won’t hear MPs use those words when discussing the growing problems facing state’s health sector and how the Allan government is planning to solve them.
All this data and dysfunction could have helped the government form a pretty solid case about the need to do things differently, particularly when you consider NSW has just 15 local health districts. Now the government has to be reactive, and try to stuff a large and problematic cat back into the bag.
Adding to an already febrile atmosphere, some board members fear they have been gagged from advocating for their health services after a recent change to the code of conduct for public sector boards included a new clause to stop them from “lobbying”. A change that the government has so far refused to clarify.
If that’s the case the government will need to convince voters that these more advanced procedures cannot be safely provided in small local hospitals facing staff shortages and that larger centralised branches – while further away – will ultimately offer better care.
