When Jill Robards’s 79-year-old husband had a stroke, the gaps in the health system were stark, she says.
Flagged for discharge from Dubbo hospital without her knowledge, her husband was sent in a taxi to their local hospital which had no doctor at the time. He was sent home three days later by a doctor who saw him via Telehealth, back into 80-year-old Jill’s care, without having received physiotherapy.
