Today we appreciated a visit at Little Haven from Local MP Tony Perrett and Qld Shadow Minister for Health John-Paul Langbroek.
The Little Haven board is committed to advocating to all political parties for recognition of our demonstrated outstanding model of Community Based Palliative Care and for Government to fund it equitably and sustainably. We are also committed to advocating for this level of care to be available to every regional Queenslander.
This year this community is working to raise the $600,000 shortfall for our service due to inadequacy of Government funding at less than $300,000. Regional Queenslanders deserve better.
Watch the Video to see the election pledge from the LNP to immediately provide $300,000 in funding to little Haven with a full review our our funding. Fortunately Tony was re-elected as the local member, unfortunately the LNP was not so we go back to square one again lobbying the State Labor government who offered us nothing during the campaign.
