00:00I'm really disappointed. I'm really, really gutted. Just last Friday I met with Mark Spatale
00:13and behind the scenes was trying to pull together what he called the very important community
00:21consultation meeting which was to take place next Tuesday. And I was given assurances in
00:28that meeting that each of the suggestions that myself and other stakeholders had put
00:35forward were going to be canvassed. We knew that not all of them would be met, but I was
00:43told that no decision would be made until we had that community consultation. So yesterday
00:51when I was told by a few people that a decision was going to be announced last night, I called
00:58and contacted Minister Jackson's office and also Mark Spatale himself and said, what the
01:05hell? How can you make this announcement whilst in the background lying to me?
01:12What we are seeing from NSW Health is they are treating people like a number. They are
01:17not looking at the individual people that actually rely on this service.
