I was pleased to welcome Health Minister Tim Nicholls to the Scenic Rim and to join him during his recent tour of the Boonah and Beaudesert hospitals which play such a vital role in their respective communities.
The dedication and enthusiasm of staff at both hospitals was unmistakable as they spoke candidly about their work with the Minister.
The opportunity to visit the hospitals and engage with staff at all levels was an invaluable one which will assist in departmental planning and future development at both locations.
As the local State Member, I am extremely proud of our hospitals and the high level of medical care they provide.
The LNP and I restored maternity services at Beaudesert Hospital 11 years ago after it had been closed for 10 years by the previous Labor Government, and I continue to work for overall better services at both hospitals.
