$27 million for Queensland – delivering elective surgery to working families
Source: Australia. Minister for Health and Ageing. Media Release
"An agreement with the states was reached to provide $150 million to help 25,000 patients get the elective surgery they need. Too many people are currently waiting too long to get elective surgery. This $150 million commitment will help slash the number of people waiting longer than clinically recommended for elective surgery. That means that thousands of Australians will be able to resume their normal lives faster. $27.6 million will go to Queensland to deliver an additional 4,000 procedures."
