NSW EMS (NGO or Private operator)

[sea breeze]

Well haven’t the NGO PR machine been in overdrive. Sandblaster you hit the nail on the head in you replies, the politicians are being pulled out of their pockets and the shock jocks on the radio and TV are reporting your predicted replies.

Does this mean that the NGO’s cannot match the tender?
I ask why is it the right of these NGO’s to have a monopoly on the EMS system
Does not CHC employ Australian workers?
What of Canberra and Wollongong service, is CHC not providing an outstanding service to those communities?
What of the Dr’s and Paramedics doesn’t the health department employ them?
Won’t CHC or any other successful tender winner employ the good NGO pilots?
What of ICAC, should the NGO’s not be reported for their political interference and manipulation of facts?

What of Fatrat’s post on CHC winning the last tender but because of political pressure NGO’s Lobbied the government and here we are 10 years on. Limited services limited control and siphoning of the very needed community charity dollar from the small communities that so much depend upon it.

LHS, as previously stated in prior posts, It is time that the state pays for this essential service, this is a STATE RESPONSIBILITY. Leave charity for those who really need it.

Last I herd Careflight was the preferred tenderer it raises the? is this a surf driven scam. Surf were kicked out of Wollongong by the people of Wollongong for ripping their funding back to the Sydney operation (As reported in the print media) Sounds like a brain fart idea that those cronies would do.

It will be amusing time ahead
