“The Warrego Electorate will benefit from the Crisafulli State Government’s fully-funded Hospital Rescue Plan, with new CT Scanners being delivered to Dalby and Charleville,” Member for Warrego Ann Leahy said.
“Along with members of the local communities, I have fought for additional CT Scanners for the electorate.”
“I welcome the commitment from the Crisafulli Government who are now delivering this life saving equipment,” Ms Leahy said.
Ms Leahy said these CT Scanners will help support the national lung cancer screening program.
“Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in Australia and CT Scans are critical for early diagnosis.”
“People’s travel time to have scans will be greatly reduced with the introduction of CT Scanners in Dalby and Charleville,” Ms Leahy said.
“This equipment will assist patients with more accurate diagnosis following accidents and emergencies and reduce the trauma of having to be transported to other locations which they are unfamiliar.”
“These Scanners will also support the hardworking doctors and nurses by giving them state of the art equipment to do their job,” Ms Leahy said.
Ms Leahy said Queenslanders voted for CT Scanners in Charleville and Dalby at the last election and the Crisafulli Government is now delivering that equipment.
