head office of the qld health department in brisbane had it workforce reduced from 14,000 to 12,000 by campbell newman.
these people dont see many patients

total number of doctors employed by qld health is just over 1000.
total number of doctors in the ACT stands at 840.
of these 450 are employed in public servant positions and do not see patients, this despite the ACT having a doctor shortage and importing doctors (stealing them) from south east asia on work permits which only allow them to work in public hospitals as public servants and make it a sackable offence to speak to the media.
PA hospital, royal brisbane hospital and mater hospiotal had overtime bans on all elective surgery for the moth of december to try and make budget.
8 of the 14 full time radiologists at RBH have resigned and gone private.
the fully functioning mater children and royal childrens hospital (both already refurbished and 2 of the largest paediatric hospitals in australia) are being joined into one mega paediatric hospital to be built (brand new0 at a cost of 2.5 billion as per anna bligh.
the health department payroll installed at an initial cost of 60 million dollars has now had over $1 billion (thats billion) spent on it to try and fix the glitches ) and is still not functional.
that is but one of the reasons for the mass resignations.
but fear not, all those crap doctors and nurses just love morons like spot kicking the crap out of them for working in such a system
