Another strike. Another crisis. Another day the Minns Labor Government fails to deliver the healthcare people in NSW deserve.
For the first time this century, doctors are walking off the job.
Surgeries are being cancelled. Emergency departments are under pressure. And the Premier can\u2019t even be bothered to meet with doctors and negotiate an outcome.
This comes off the back of failed negotiations with nurses, midwives, and the mass resignation of public hospital psychiatrists.
NSW Opposition Leader Mark Speakman said Chris Minns is running a government of excuses, not outcomes.
\u201cChris Minns leads the Do Nothing Government \u2014 they don\u2019t do leadership, don\u2019t do reform, and they certainly don\u2019t do new delivery. NSW doesn\u2019t need another press conference. We need a government that actually does something,\u201d Mr Speakman said.
Shadow Health Minister Kellie Sloane said this week, patients in NSW hospitals will pay the price for the Minns Labor Government\u2019s industrial chaos.
\u201cThey will pay for it in longer waits in our EDs and cancelled surgeries. The Government has admitted that patient safety may be compromised \u2013 this is an unacceptable outcome.
\u201cDoctors, nurses and psychiatrists have all say the same thing – this government isn\u2019t listening, and it isn\u2019t negotiating in good faith,\u201d Ms Sloane said.
After two years of Labor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn\u2019t a government. It\u2019s a slogan factory with no follow-through.
The Do Nothing Government is running out of excuses, won\u2019t take the blame and is out of its depth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
