The Carpenter Government is closing Royal Perth Hospital – our
State’s largest hospital.It will be
the first major city hospital to shut down in Australia, closing
the doors on 153 years of commitment to excellence in patient
care, teaching and research.
Before the 2001 State election, the Labor
Party promised it would “fix the health system” in Western
Australia.
Seven years on, and with a part-time
Health Minister at the helm, our health system is in crisis.
You can’t fix the health system by closing
the State’s largest hospital.
Under Labor’s plan, RPH will be closed
within five years.
Let’s work together to Save RPH
