Andrews under Pressure to ‘fix’ Health Crisis after Maternity Service issues

Australian News

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is under fire over the state’s health crisis following revelations a regional hospital forced expectant mums to travel hours for maternity services.

Nationals Member for Lowan Emma Kealy revealed Horsham Hospital has suspended maternity services with people being told to go to Ballarat, which is a two-hour drive away.

When asked about the case, Mr Andrews said staff shortages and a lack of willingness for people to work in the regions could be behind the “temporary issues”.
