The Australian Health system originally started with locally run, autonomous hospitals.
The current system does not exist for the benefit of patients and the public, or the frontline healthcare workers, but for the benefit of the tribal network - politicians, bureaucrats and the ALP unions..
The only solution is to minimise the bureaucracy.
The only way to minimise the Brisbane bureaucracy is to relocate their functions of administration to the local hospitals. Let them employ local administrators. Local common sense will discover barely 10-15% of current administrators will be needed
Let’s make our local hospital autonomous, run by nurses managed by a board, elected by the community the local hospital serves, not appointed by a politician.
This is the way to end the cover-ups and ensure that our hospital provides the services that our community needs, rather than what the bureaucrats and politicians dictate.
Part 1: A Community Elected Board
A community-elected board will be transparent and accountable to the people who elect them in ways a bureaucracy can and will never be.
Part 2: Empowering Nurses in Hospital Decision-Making
The second part of the solution involves empowering the nurses who work within each health facility.
These are the individuals who have first-hand knowledge of the needs and concerns of their patients and their community. We want at least one of them, elected by the nurses at each facility, not appointed by a politician or bureaucrat, to be on the management board.
