Labor leads NSW into worst health chaos this century

Another strike. Another crisis. Another day the Minns Labor Government fails to deliver the healthcare people in NSW deserve.
 
For the first time this century, doctors are walking off the job.
 
Surgeries are being cancelled. Emergency departments are under pressure. And the Premier can’t even be bothered to meet with doctors and negotiate an outcome.
 
This comes off the back of failed negotiations with nurses, midwives, and the mass resignation of public hospital psychiatrists.
 
NSW Opposition Leader Mark Speakman said Chris Minns is running a government of excuses, not outcomes.
 
“Chris Minns leads the Do Nothing Government — they don’t do leadership, don’t do reform, and they certainly don’t do new delivery. NSW doesn’t need another press conference. We need a government that actually does something,” Mr Speakman said.
 
Shadow Health Minister Kellie Sloane said this week, patients in NSW hospitals will pay the price for the Minns Labor Government’s industrial chaos.
 
“They will pay for it in longer waits in our EDs and cancelled surgeries. The Government has admitted that patient safety may be compromised – this is an unacceptable outcome.
 
“Doctors, nurses and psychiatrists have all say the same thing - this government isn’t listening, and it isn’t negotiating in good faith,” Ms Sloane said.
 
After two years of Labor:

  • Health is breaking.
  • Trains are delayed.
  • Housing has stalled.
  • The budget is busted.

This isn’t a government. It’s a slogan factory with no follow-through.
 
The Do Nothing Government is running out of excuses, won’t take the blame and is out of its depth.
