As reported in the Gympie Times article Grim view for Gympie cancer care funding 12 July 2017.
QHealth funds approximately one-third of Little Haven’s expenses. The gap in Little Haven’s 2016/17 financial year is about $500,000.
This has now become beyond the ability of a small community, albeit a very generous community. This year, Little Haven will post a deficit of $160,000.
“In contrast to assertions (by Health Minister Cameron Dick) in The Gympie Times, we were told there was no more palliative funding available for community care and they have no plans to redirect funding allocated elsewhere,” Sue Manton said.
