Support is building
Dear Supporters, A few weeks ago I delivered this petition to my local MP Chris Gulaptis. He subsequently presented it to the Health Minister Jillian Skinner with an associated press release. To date I have not had a reply from the Health Minister but behind the scenes support is building. Regional ABC radio in NSW interviewed me about country patient accommodation during peak afternoon time. The ABC’s “Drum” asked me to write an article and submit it as they are doing a project called “Crook in the Bush”. The link for the article is here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-09/samera-country-patients-forgotten-in-the-big-smoke/5953570 Please share the article and continue sharing the petition on Facebook, Twitter and via email with your friends. https://www.communityrun.org/petitions/no-more-accommodation-for-country-patients-in-the-city The more interest their is in “The Drum’s” project the more impact it will have even at a government level. The NSW Government is still insisting they will sell part of the land of Royal North Shore Hospital which was earmarked for country patient accommodation. We can’t let this happen. All tertiary hospitals in Sydney need country patient accommodation. This is not a luxury, it is absolutely essential to the wellbeing of regional NSW. Kind regards, Linda Samera |
