Health council airs merger fears
Posted
The Bundaberg Health Community Council (HCC) says it is concerned the community will be left in the dark after the Wide Bay health district is absorbed by the Sunshine Coast.
The Wide Bay and Fraser Coast health districts will become part of a larger Sunshine Coast health district under a restructure announced by the Queensland Government.
Chairman Jim Mullet says the information flow between the community and the Health Department will be damaged.
"The new CEO [chief executive manager] may from time to time put his or her head in the door of our HCC meetings where as the situation now is that we have our district manager, Patti Hudson, who attends all the meetings both for Bundaberg and the North Burnett," he said.
"That information flow is very, very good."
