What’s plan, Premier?

Tasmanian Labor

The AMNF has announced they will commence strike action next week due to the lack of action by the Rockliff-Ferguson government to address workloads for exhausted nurses.

The Rockliff-Ferguson government has failed to support our health workers as a new wave of COVID impacts our community, economy and health system.

The lack of action by the Rockliff-Ferguson government to improve working conditions for health workers after years of dealing with COVID has left many at breaking point.

The growing numbers of hospitalisation and tragic deaths to COVID has been predicted to worsen by Premier Rockliff, in a sign that things will only get harder for health workers in an already struggling hospital system.

What is Premier’s Rockliff’s plan to curb the growing number of COVID cases?

Premier Rockliff must be transparent about the advice he is receiving and what action he will take to support those working in our health system who are at the frontline responding to the worsening crisis in our hospitals.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the health portfolio is getting neglected by the Premier who has taken on too much and is at best, a half-time health Minister.
