Qld: Beattie petitions for more doctors
Premier PETER BEATTIE'S collected signatures from the public .. while campaigning for
more university places for doctors in Queensland.
He'll present the petition to Prime Minister JOHN HOWARD .. who Mr BEATTIE claims is
responsible for not providing enough doctor training places in Queensland .. instead favouring
Victoria in the lead up to its state election.
Mr BEATTIE says there are third world countries that have a higher doctor to patient
ratio than Australia.
He says Queensland needs an extra 325 medical places in universities .. but may get only 50.
