TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

Queensland residents draw the attention of the House to the current Queensland Labor Government’s failure to rule out the introduction of co-payments or means testing for our Public Health System. Queensland residents in need of medical care should not have to suffer from the abolition of the free hospital system as a result of Government mismanagement of the Health System.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to call on the current Labor Government to commit to maintain Queensland’s free hospital system and scrap plans for the implementation of levies and means testing for Queensland patients.
