Hope not to make small hospitals short term only, i have elderly parents, and if either of them were to become ill, the larger hospital is 40minutes away, that means, unless i go an extra 1/2 and take either of them to visit the other, they would be parted for the period of hospitalization, and seeing every single day is a bonus, a week or two int he lives of elderly folks counts.9Making my round trip, travelling only 2.5 hours.

I am a 'Peri-Urban' resident, have recently completed my Nursing Diploma and work at my local hospital. While many aspects of the CHP appear positive on a fundamental level, may I say that what we REALLY need here is a much bigger local hospital (more beds) and more aged care facilities to cope with the rapidly growing population. Patients appear to fare better when they are near to their loved ones.

Country people deserve the best. Nurses deserve the support of their community to provide the best. If you cut services you cut jobs and nurses have to go as well or travel further to work. Caring for patients in their own town is better for them and their family. Cities are congested and unfriendly places for the vulnerable. Country towns make life worth living.

The decision of this government has been deplorable in firstly getting rid of Hospital Boards and now attempting to deny country residents the availability of the best medical facilities within close proximity to their place of residence. There has been no public consultation and I hold the powers to be within the Health Department personally responsible for this disgusting health plan. More about lining their own pockets with obscene salaries. Too bad about the taxpayer who funds their salary.

It is difficult to get an appointment now. If residents from smaller towns have to come into the M B Clinic it will become almost impossible to get an appointment.When I was teaching I would only accept a new school if there were a hospital and medical facilities. Our daugheter was born at Lameroo. Under the proposed scheme we would have to travel 2 hours intp Murray Bridge. We have excellent medical facilities do not change the system now.

The country health plan shows no regard for rural communities, its health or wellbeing. The social and economic impact that it will have on rural communities, especially those targeted for reduced services is severe and detrimental to those it is supposed to help.

Having close connections with country areas, I am concerned that appropriate and timely healthcare should be available without having to travel long distances. Also being a patient in a hospital a long way from family support can be very isolating and slow the recovery process, not to mention the financial burden this imposes on families who have to travel and find accommodation, not to mention the emotional factors. Additionally the loss of skills for nurses and doctors in country areas.

Reducing services at Loxton Hospital to Emergency and birthing is ridiculus, this hospital has successfully looked after the Loxton and surrounding areas very very well, to reduce the services at this hospital will hurt our township and reduce the numbers of people working, living and utilising our schools, this hospital needs to be supported in its current format and left alone.

Closing down the Yorketown hospital which is also a training hospital for young doctors has a devasting effect on the community. If you ever lived in the area you would realise that driving 200 kms to another hospital and being admitted there puts an enormous strain on the supporting family as well as the patient.
My suggestion is that someone in the Department of Health should actually go through the exercise - they have obviously not had a need to be urgently in need of a country hospital.

I do not want to be forced to move from my home town in order to be able to practice my trade as a Registered Nurse. Hawker Hospital is one of the 14 hospitals being targeted for service change. To date, we have had a token presentation by the Director of our region who was unable to answer our questions. If I need to move from my home to practice my trade then I will be left with no option than to leave the rural & remote health profession to which I dedicated 30 years of my life.

We are deeply concerned for the future of our local hospital, both in terms of acute care and emergency and convalescence. Also at risk is the future of our town and the ongoing effects should any downgrading of services occur. Already with the introduction of the MPS and the ineffectiveness of CEO clustering we are feeling the effects. We service a very wide area and provide effective support and allied health care within the wider community.60% of clients
are tourists.

Hawker Hospital has provided continuous medical and nursing care for the past 80+ years and 2008 is not the time for these services to be curtailed. With the effects of the drought increasing fuel and commodity prices local residents do not need the stress of extra travel for medical care. The elderly retire in Hawker because there is medical / nursing care availalble. We all know we will have to travel for any surgical procedure or major helath crisis but not minor acute problems
