Mersey hospital deal set to be signed
Brisbane Times – Sep 12, 2007
We use an id here to be able to jump to this section. –> Mersey hospital deal set to be signed. –> September 12 2007 Tasmania is set to sign over a public hospital to the federal government within a week Health Minister Tony Abbott says. But Mr Abbott has warned Labor’s plan to take over every public hospital in the country would cost $14 billion a year and could put at risk the jobs of 200000 nurses. The federal government last month announced it would overrule the states plan to downgrade the Mersey hospital in the marginal northern electorate Braddon. It will give about $45 million to a community trust to keep the hospital operating at full capability. “I can inform the house that after a somewhat rocky start discussions between the commonwealth and the state of Tasmania are now progressing well and a binding agreement should be signed within a week” Mr Abbott said told the lower house during question time… The federal government last month announced it would overrule the states plan to downgrade the Mersey hospital in the marginal northern electorate Braddon.

Mr Abbott said he was interested to note the Tasmania government was already spending some of the extra money it would receive through the agreement. The Tasmanian government announced on Tuesday$20 million worth of savings would be shared by three other acute hospitals in the state. But Mr Abbott was critical of Labor’s plan to intervene in state hospitals. Labor last month unveiled its plan to take financial control of all public hospitals unless the states met targets set down in a $2 billion health reform program.
