Another day another scare campaign from the real opposition, the union movement.

Today’s HACSU scare should be seen for what it is, the union playing politics and trying to prop up its parliamentary arm, the Labor Party.

Its time the union was held to account for its misinformation

The facts in relation to improving support services at the Tasmanian Health Service in the north west are:

• No decision has been made
• The review will look at ways to assist with delivering an efficient and effective service
• There is no predetermined plan or decision
• Unions and staff will be informed when the review is complete and what recommendations are being considered
• No changes will be made without consultation with staff and unions.

There’s no secret about this review – HACSU has been fully informed it is underway. It complements the move to a Statewide health system.

The irony is the One Health System reforms are publicly supported by HACSU.

If the union is genuine it would work with the THS to help fix the broken health system
