Very pleased to see the Queensland branch of the Australian Medical Association (AMAQ) joining our call to all political parties for proper funding for Palliative Care in their 5 point Election manifesto, as reported in the Gympie Times Home care ‘time bomb’ warning – MDs join funds campaign 23rd November 2017.
AMA Queensland president Dr Bill Boyd said:
” Palliative care has been ignored for too long ….. As our population ages we will see huge increases in the number of elderly people requiring palliative care services.
If we’re struggling now, how will we cope in five or 20 years? ”
