it has just been announced that the Govt. is considering raising the Medicare contribution to 2.5% to try and improve on waiting lists etc. They are also going on about having to wait in emergency departments for anything up to 12 hours....now that is bad. How can that be improved upon when they won't employ more nurses, who by the way....over here aren't employed by the hospital boards, they come under a "nursing pool"
