I have just listened to an item of news about further hospital ward
closures, this time at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The news item stated that nurses were yet to consider what action they
could take to try to keep the ward open.
Why are the nurses having to fight *our* battles?
We, the people (electors) of South Australia should be the ones demanding
that our government provides the money for our welfare needs. After all,
we are the people who elected the government, and are the source of
government finance.
We must be the ones to dictate how our money is spent.
Ring or write to your local State Member of Parliament ! Tell them to
spend our money on essential services first ! Tell them that hospitals are
essential services which require priority in government spending !
