The South Australian Opposition has taken aim at the government over the state’s buckling health system, sharing a photo of an 84-year-old woman forced to wait 10-hours in the Lyell McEwin Hospital emergency department after falling severely ill. The woman was suffering severe flu symptoms and a reported “coughing to the point of almost losing consciousness” and loosing 4 kg in 10 days, the opposition said.

“Before the election, Peter Malinauskas and Chris Picton said labour had a plan to fix ramping and the health system,” Deputy Opposition Leader John Gardner said. “We’re more than two years on. We are three budgets in and we’re onto the third version of labor’s plan. “It takes a special kind of incompetence to spend more money than ever before to worse results than ever before. “South Australia’s health system has never faced a bleaker situation than it appears to right now,” he said.
