TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House a desperate need for the establishment of a Palliative Care Unit in Maryborough. Maryborough has an aging population and there has been a decline in medical services being offered over recent years. It is proposed to construct a large private hospital in Hervey Bay and this may result in the private hospital in Maryborough becoming available for a Palliative Care Unit.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to take all necessary steps to have a dedicated Palliative Care Unit based in Maryborough.
