Source: Liberal Party of Australia. Media Release
"I am pleased to announce the Coalition’s plan to take the pressure off public hospitals and to provide better health care for all Australians. Australia has an excellent health system by international standards. Our plan includes the restoration of local hospital boards to make decisions about local hospitals; more Australian-trained doctors, nurses and specialists; more alternatives to help take the pressure off public hospitals and more public hospital beds. Local hospital management and more accountability. A re-elected Coalition Government will give local communities control of their local hospitals by requiring that the States and Territories restore local hospital boards for every public hospital with more than 50 beds.
