Five Canberra cardiologists, who are in private practice and have no direct relationship with the hospital, have written a damning letter to ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith, outlining a series of concerns and urging action.
The group of doctors said patient care had become undeniably worse since multiple senior cardiologists were stood down from the hospital last year, and they have concerns about the disparity of care, especially for patients affected by poor socio-economic conditions.
