North Shore Living: The Auditor General’s report on the delivery of public services at the Northern Beaches Hospital, released on 17 April, concluded that the hospital is ‘not effectively delivering integrated, high-quality healthcare and not performing to the requirements of the public-private partnership deed...
Pittwater Independent MP Jacqui Scruby said the report added ‘further strength and momentum to return public services to the public hands at the hospital, so we can have transparency, accountability and real-time oversight of the hospital’s performance and rebuild community confidence.’
“This audit shows how public patients in our community are being let down. This was a failed experiment at the expense of patients. Emergency and public care should not be run by the for-profit sector,” said Ms Scruby.
“We owe the brave parents of Joe Massa, the parents of baby Harper, and other patients who have been let down by the hospital to get this right.”
