This paper discusses some of the changes being implemented across Queensland Health and their ramifications for the state and the people of Queensland. I have chosen to discuss four characteristics of the Newman government’s health care, which I have entitled “Primary health care “, “Unforeseen consequences”, “Rudderless ships”, and “Beware the cultural cringe”. The material under discussion is largely taken from the LNP government’s “Blueprint for Better Healthcare in Queensland Report” (herein called Blueprint) which was published by Queensland Health on February 12, 2013. The main thrust of this paper is to discuss how some of the (sometimes) highly laudable aims in the report have affected the health care delivered to Queenslanders.
