Trouble at Queensland hospitals is dominating Question Time this morning, with the Opposition asking the Premier to explain where extra resources to patch up an IT bungle are coming from.

 

 

 The Opposition has asked Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to assure Queenslanders money is not being redirected from patient care to patch up another IT failure.

The question, from Opposition frontbencher Michael Hart, followed revelations by Health Minister Steven Miles that extra money to support the troubled rollout of new hospital ordering system S/4HANA was coming out of other health budgets rather than the project's budget.

GUTTED: Queensland locked out of hosting grand final

This was met with heckling from the Opposition who yesterday slammed the Government for not being competitive enough. 

Burleigh MP Michael Hart yelled out that Ms Palaszczuk had "lost" the former Premier's phone number.

"I'm not happy with him (Beattie) either frankly," the Premier responded. 

She went on to say the decision was unfair to Queensland fans. 

"It takes the game away from people who give it their heart and soul," she said. 

"You can’t buy the kind of love Queensland has for rugby league.

"It would be nice if we could see it returned."
