Paramedics soon won't be able to safely speak out about the issues with our health system, but Better Border Health still needs our help. The current plan will leave ambulances ramped and you without help when you need it. Jacinta Allan Chris Minns Mary-Anne Thomas MP Bill Tilley

Working at Chiltern today, have attended 3 emergencies in Wodonga so far. That means there were no ambulances available in Albury or Wodonga. Last Thursday I worked Chiltern and likewise went to Wodonga 3x. Better Border Health Jacinta Allan Chris Minns Mary-Anne Thomas MP

Earlier this evening an ambulance crew from wangarratta responded to and treated a patient in Seymour. Seymour crews were in Melbourne. Our health system is broken. Jacinta Allan Mary-Anne Thomas MP
This will be the last statement I am likely to be able to make for awhile. Sorry It is a bit long-winded. I only hope people like Jacinta Allan, Mary-Anne Thomas MP, Chris Minns, Ryan Park MP take notice, I would be happy to meet with any of them if they contact me.
