State health minister says evidence given to inquiry that patients wait up to 36 hours to see a doctor are ‘rubbish’

NSW health minister Brad Hazzard says it is ‘ridiculous’ to describe the state’s public hospitals as having ‘third world’ conditions.NSW health minister Brad Hazzard says it is ‘ridiculous’ to describe the state’s public hospitals as having ‘third world’ conditions.health minister has rejected criticism of the state’s healthcare system as “third-world” by doctors speaking at a parliamentary inquiry.

Brad Hazzard dismissed some of the comments made by emergency medical experts on Wednesday. The doctors had been quizzed at an inquiry hearing about “war zone” conditions in public hospitals that remain under pandemic stress.“That’s a ridiculous proposition. “Those doctors who spoke are very good in their own areas … but it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re good at managing an entire health system.

Emergency doctors Pramod Chandru and James Tadros had told an upper house probe into ambulance ramping and emergency departments about their frustrations working in the “disheartening” setting of public hospitals in western Sydney. “It was not our goal when we started out our training in medical school to find ourselves in circumstances that see us failing the needs of our patients on a daily basis,” Tadros said.

Oh dear god. Is Health Hazzard still around 🤦‍♀️

If there is the slightest complication, they tell you the specialist will be in next day by 10pm. Waited 3 months for an oncologist to see my dad with stomach cancer, no nurse in the meantime, but nurse after specialist diagnosis, only Public specialist holidaying from Nov to Mar

A politician rejects expert opinion from qualified professionals, sounds about right!

How does he still have a job

Well he would say that ( Mandy Rice Davies )

I think the guy is awful but the claim is silly

Health Hazzard still upto the same disingenuous substandard we should expect as a matter of course by now.

Well…he IS the expert - he was a Science teacher and solicitor more than 25 years ago.

Bread Hazard is a Hazard

Brad Hazzard has regularly rejected the advice of those who know better than he. This is not a surprise.

Tweets the age deletes Why do you keep blocking replies? Tipping culture entrenches poverty and low wages.

Teals looking to kick Liberals out of Victorian state electoratesClimate 200 convenor Simon Holmes a Court is looking to steal more Victorian seats away from the Liberals at the upcoming state election. Is it fair in a democracy that wealthy people get to tip the balance of power? So he's the party leader? Or are they still getting away with calling themselves 'independents? Sad really. I get the republican cause, although disagree. What would we be left with. The round table of 'A Court' and 'Albo'. I really don't want OZ to become South Africa. I could always bug out, but others would have to be a serf to such people!
