KATTER’S Australian Party MP Bob Katter is pushing for the allocation of funding towards the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR) and to kickstart a national university college campaign which could potentially save the lives of thousands of Australians living with blood cancer.
Katter’s Australian Party Leader and Traeger MP Robbie Katter has used Question Time this morning to call on the Queensland Health Minister Yvette D’Ath to take action on the issue of blood cancers and a shortfall in bone marrow transplants.
THOUSANDS of lives could potentially be saved each year if the Federal Health Minister agrees to allocate revenue already collected by the Commonwealth, to a recruitment campaign encouraging Australians to join the bone marrow donor pool, which could help cure illnesses such as blood cancers.
RESIDENTS in populated areas of North Queensland have shared worrying stories of calls to emergency services dropping out due to poor mobile service which Kennedy MP Bob Katter has long pleaded with governments to improve.
Thousands of regional Queenslanders who travel vast distances to receive medical treatment unavailable to them in their hometowns are being let down by Queensland Health which has not increased the Patient Transport Subsidy Scheme (“PTSS”) for the past 10 years, Katter’s Australian Party MPs have said.
