The Mackay Hospital and Health Board will benefit from the experience and skills of new member, Mrs Helen Caruso, while Chair Timothy Mulherin and all other remaining members will retain their positions.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Steven Miles welcomed the news and said the combination of new skills and perspectives combined with the stability of the reappointments would maintain the strength of the Mackay Hospital and Health Service.
“Mrs Caruso is an excellent addition to the Board, bringing enormous local knowledge and financial expertise,” Deputy Premier Miles said.
“I am also pleased to announce Mr Mulherin’s continued commitment to serve another term as Chair to ensure health services across the Mackay region will continue to respond to community needs.
Member for Mackay Julieanne Gilbert said it’s a testament to the Board’s past success and ability to work together that it’s able to provide continuity and performance and remain largely unchanged this year.
“I’m sure the Board members are excited to welcome Mrs Caruso, who adds valuable skills and knowledge to a steady and very strong team,” Ms Gilbert said.
“It’s a team that has served the Mackay Hospital and Health Service and community extremely well and will continue to do so.”
