Re: No doctors, no policy, no numbers: Hunter New England Health hides severity of situation
All hospitals have to be accredited to meet Australian Quality & Safety standards in Health Care, so my question is how are the hospitals named can maintain accreditation if standards are not met and detrimental to patient care?
Hunter New England health must be aware of the failing of 3 of the 8 standards required.
Rural doctors are a rarity and enticing new doctors from the cities is extremely difficult. Bigger base hospitals who train Junior Medical Officers should be rostering them out to the rural hospitals when they have completed their training.
