Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the new hospital will be built in partnership with private firm Mater Health in Springfield, a former satellite city of Ipswich.
It’s time for Queensland’s Health Minister’s to stop blaming our health crisis on COVID-19. This problem has been building for years and we all know it.
Terminally Ill Patients Choosing to Die Out of Hopelessness, Abandonment: Queensland Doctors
Queensland’s peak medical association has warned that terminally ill patients choose to “take poison” and die out of hopelessness or abandonment. The Australian Medical Association Queensland (AMAQ) said patients were less likely to agree to euthanasia if better palliative care options were on the table.
The president of the AMAQ issued the stinging rebuke in the lead up to the state Parliament’s impending vote on euthanasia this week.
Dr. Chris Perry said the euthanasia experience in Victoria, Canada, and Oregon in the United States one of the earliest jurisdictions to legalise the practice saw many candidates choose euthanasia because they felt trapped or incapacitated.
