The Federal Government's proposed plan to acquire hospitals is expected to witness the return of a separate Central Coast health service.
The Australian Medical Association of Queensland (AMAQ) believes that if the State Government approves a federal plan to introduce desired repair work in the health system, it would surely negate the requirement for private funding to develop the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
AMAQ president Dr. Mason Stevenson claims that as per the proposed plan, the Federal Government would provide 60 per cent of the funding for the hospital.
In addition, she reveals that the State Government would then only need to provide the other 40 per cent and a private partner would no longer be required.
"In the past, we have seen unwillingness or an inability of the State Government to fund for our much needed Sunshine Coast University Hospital", she quotes.
The introduction of the reforms will enable the local hospital networks to manage their own budgets and be held responsible for their performances.
