Qld 2007-08 Health Budget details
A record health budget of $7.15 billion will continue to drive reforms and improvements to Queensland’s health system in 2007-08, Health Minister, Stephen Robertson, says.
Mr Robertson says the health budget delivers on the Beattie Government’s election commitments, improves mental health services, opens more hospital beds, and funds record numbers of doctors and nurses within Queensland Health.
He says a $635 million health capital works program will support the health budget, building world-class infrastructure that will take Queensland Health into the next decade.
“Queensland is building the best health system in Australia through our five-year, $10 billion Health Action Plan,” Mr Robertson said.
