QuestionResponse
What services do you believe are most important for the Territory? Health, Education, road resurfacing and Municiple services, all of which are sadly lacking and/or of poor quality in the ACT.
How can the Government deliver current services more efficiently or in ways that better meet the needs of our community?-
Are there particular services that you think the Government should stop delivering or should deliver in a different way?Cease the Tram roll out until the Canberra hospital is improved to be on a sustainable quality basis. Currently, as a public patient I have to wait, in severe pain, for over 12 months just to see a specialist at Canberra Hospital. Then surgery needs to be scheduled. At least 18+ months away. That is unacceptable. You say that the Tram is about forward planning for population - but the Hospital clearly isn't keeping up with demand. Your discal priorities are just wrong. Also, your road resurfacing program is rubbish - very poor quality.
What new ideas, services or programs should the Government consider to meet emerging or evolving community needs?Fix the Canberra hospital and poor Municiple services before you think of spending $ on new things.
