Archer backs health cuts as Tasmanians die waiting for ambulances
Two Tasmanians have tragically died waiting for an ambulance in the last month. Today, Bridget Archer continued to support Eric Abetz’s $700 million in health cuts.
Paramedics are doing everything they can, but they cannot cover for a government cutting a health system that is already broken.
Bridget Archer couldn’t even tell Tasmanians whether the Zeehan ambulance station will be staffed this weekend.
So, if somebody in Zeehan needs an ambulance this weekend, what are they supposed to do?
Only last month, the Minister promised Tasmanians that if you call an ambulance and you need one, you will get one. Today she couldn’t even guarantee a single shift.
Bridget Archer should stand up to Eric Abetz and support Tasmanian patients and health workers instead.
