and have the expertise then why not.
What's wrong with the Ambulance Services Victoria? rather see people die, than listen to commen sense. Take it to Sarah Henderson or Terry Mulder. Good on you Anthony Hann.

I also work with other clients that have needed the hospital last year many times and some of those being during the day and some at night so i really think they need to think about aged, disability and children in the town before making decisions on closing it because i dont think they have made the right decision

Fund Sports ground developments, but cut money for healthcare. Go figure. At least we get a chance to get rid of them this year.

It's 2013! It seems that it will take a serious health incident or someone dying to make the government realise the consequences of their actions!

I have many family and friends who live there and I visit often. I would not like my life and those of my family and friends put in jeopardy because of lack of hospital being open or not enough ambulances to cater for such a large area.

We are the gateway to the Otways and a large number of Farming communities. Many small towns which surround Colac Otway Shire utilise our health care system. We are probably talking at least the population of Geelong but spread over 100's KM radius.

I have family and friends with illnesses that may require urgent medical attention. With emergencies as simple as a child having an asthma attack in the middle of the night, you dont have time to drive at least 45minutes away! And this is only one simple example.

We need these services desperately. If you have any elderly particularly in your life you will understand how much they don't want to bother anyone, or are very stubborn. They are not going to call for help early. They will die before help arrives. Please think of your loved ones and ours and don't let this happen. We need funding urgently!!!!

What up and coming Doctor would wont to work at a disfunctioning hospital that cant even run an A&E department?
Good to see the CEO Geoff lles has good his priorities right. He would have known in July of 2013 this this was a problem yet he still signed off on building student accommodation.
As a tax payer I deserve the right to medical attention from a public medical sector in my community. I can see one hell of a Civil Litigation suit occurring if anything was to contribute to the injury or death of a person needing medical attention and can not get it as a result of the closure of A&E.
Shame on you Geoff and all involved.
But it's funny how they are all trying to blame each other and no one has the balls to stand up and fix the problem

Colac hospital emergency department already refuse to treat you unless it's basically life or death. They just send you away (even if it's a friday night) and tell you to go to the doctors surgery in the morning, which closes at 11am on weekends, and is always packed out with people which don't all get seen by the SINGLE doctor at the clinic, but instead get sent over to emergency after the clinic closes, then emergency won't treat us. Where exactly does that leave us?

Many more of them certainly could not afford the cost of an ambulance ride to Geelong or the trip they would have to get home again. Most would not be able to afford ambulance cover either.
