The Premier and Health Minister need to call out Labor’s Bundaberg MP Tom Smith today for breaking election promises. 
 
He promised the people of Bundaberg before the last election a level 5 hospital. 
 
He also put it in writing on Facebook on 26th August 2020. 
 
The post has since been deleted. That tells you everything you need to know about Tom Smith. 
 
This is another example of the chaos and crisis within the Palaszczuk Labor Government. 
 
Wide Bay patients deserve a world class health system. 

Today I’m calling on the Premier, the Health Minister and the Member for Bundaberg to listen to the people of Bundaberg and deliver on their promises: 

  • A Level 5 Hospital  
  • A Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Service (delivery was promised by October 2023
  • A falls prevention program (at the Bundaberg hospital) 
  • An urgent care clinic (promised by federal Labor counterparts in 2022) 
  • Reduced waiting lists  
  • Honest and real-time data 
  • Serious commitment to change toxic WBHHS culture  

After three terms, eight years and four Health Ministers, the Palaszczuk Labor Government is no longer listening to Queenslanders. 
 
ENDS.
