  1. Our local health service provides a fantastic service. The Cancer Treatment Centre is a terrific example of a community funded centre and I understand no government money is involved. My question is “will the hospital be able to afford to provide the service now that another $200,000 is being taken off them?” How much support have our local politicians given those involved?
    How many more services will we lose – it seems it’s the smaller hospitals that bear the greatest burden – where’s the voice of support from our politicians? Is it Colac’s voice in Canberra or Canberra’s voice in Colac? That’s the question

    I think Ms Henderson needs to be informed about some facts which she appears not to know which is surprising given she is a member of the Turnbull government.
    The TURNBULL LIBERAL/NATIONAL GOVERNMENT just cut $73 million from the Victorian hospital budget. Over the next ten years they are planning to cut $17.7 BILLION from the Victorian health budget!
    The $200,000 cut to the Colac Health Service is just the tip of the iceberg.
    Sarah Henderson has the audacity to tell the Colac community that it is not a cut.
    Shame on her.

  3. That’s disgusting! The health system is under enough pressure as is, they don’t need anymore.
    How about the darn politicians (at all levels) start taking a pay cuts, I think about half the pay and entitlements would be a good start. The position they are in is an honour not some corporate ladder.
