"When he needs an admission, which is generally about once a year, we kind of get straight in," Ms Emery said. The Liberals came to power in 2014 pledging to fix what even they described as a broken health system. Health and Community Services Union state secretary Tim Jacobson says while some of the 19 initiatives from Patients First have been implemented, "the problem is it really hasn't made any demonstrable improvement to what we've got".
One health union says the RHH's new K Block building is not enough to improve capacity at the hospital. "If we don't fix the community side of things, the primary areas and health prevention, our view is it doesn't matter how much you spend in hospitals, it'll never be enough," Mr Levett said. To Labor health spokeswoman Sarah Lovell, the latest pledge to fix the health system is the latest in a long line of promises since the Liberals came to power in 2014.
