Lismore Base Hospital

Mr THOMAS GEORGE: My question is directed to the Minister for Health. Why has the Minister ignored four years of complaints from a surgeon at Lismore Base Hospital who, in a last-ditch attempt to have his concerns addressed, has been forced to threaten that if his allocated surgery time is not increased from just half a day per fortnight he may leave the public system?

Ms REBA MEAGHER: The question does not contain enough detail for me to answer it in this forum. If the member for Lismore would like to make representations to me on this point, I invite him to come to my office after question time.
