Letter to the Editor
Why? Why has the Newman government cut their health budget by almost $3 Billion resulting in at least 500 lost jobs in North Queensland? I have looked at the Queensland government Service Delivery Statement 2012-2013 and the statement of health funding from the federal government which has increasing spending over the next 4 years.
I understand that the Newman government is trying to balance their budget; however health services, jobs and people should come first. Health is the most important function of government because if you lose your health you lose almost everything.
