I am apparently classified as a priority 1 patient as suffering a stroke late 05 and living there for 3 months, its a bit worrying to hear that they are having to send patients elsewhere and that the waiting lists are so long, and yes i know that if i have a relapse i have priority but thats not the point. Needs to be sorted.

While doctors and nurses are giving of thier all the pressure from increasing population numbers and the extra demands from the rural hospitals whose services have been severely curtailed has driven this crisis to the extreme.

Until conditions are improved, there is no motivation to join, no incentive to stay and no satisfaction at the end of the day.

]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:10:03 UTC 4126915 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4126909?utm_medium=rss As my father was given 16 overdoses of radiation only 91/2 weeks ago, I feel very strongly about improving the quality of the hospital which means to me that you need to make it bigger, offer more beds, more staff and more training to name but a few. Townsville is a growing region and the hospital is already under pressure with the population as it is, let alone the increase we will see over the coming years.

More compensation for nurses who have to pay for daycare will get nurses back to work. Daycare to expensive. Get Doctors to do discharge rounds each evening in preparation for the next day so patients go early the next day providing a complication free night. free up beds for surgery.
