“The state of Australia’s health system is of great concern to me.” David Howell, Greens Candidate for Deakin

“I have personally witnessed the good and bad aspects of our health system. I have seen the overworked and stressed medical and nursing staff in our hospitals, I have worked with and supported our emergency paramedics. I have seen the Emergency Departments without beds, waiting rooms at bursting point, ambulances queued up outside. I have dealt with patients requiring surgery languishing at home.  I have spent time trying to assist families or individuals try to get help for “at risk” loved ones.”
