Subscriber only More than half a billion dollars in foreshadowed health cuts have been axed after a furious campaign by hospital boards. Treasurer Cameron Dick has confirmed Queensland Health will not be subjected to a further efficiency dividend , but would still need to make $1 billion in savings already slated last year.
