VIC: Regional council passes no-confidence motion in health provider

News

Northern Grampians Shire Council has passed a motion of no confidence in healthcare provider Grampians Health. 

The motion was put forward by Cr Rob Haswell, citing a lack of improvement in health services since the amalgamation of Stawell Regional Health and Grampians Health in 2021. 

The council expressed gratitude to the staff and front-line workers of Grampians Health but emphasized the need for better healthcare services and is seeking a meeting with the Health Minister and the Premier. 

There have been numerous complaints from residents about the services provided by Grampians Health.

They were promised improved and more efficient services after the amalgamation but have instead experienced a haphazard arrangement of visiting locum doctors.
